Don't forget! It's the Swimming Gala tomorrow.
There is a list of races next to the changing rooms and I have one in the class. Make sure that you check it to find out which race you are in.
Things to remember:
- Swimming kit
- Swimming hat in your house colours
- A drink of water and a fruit snack
Normal lessons continue after lunch and that means clubs. If you have a swimming club it would be a good idea to bring a spare towel.
