On the morning of the 16th
of November, the whole house woke up early for breakfast, proudly wearing our
orange house shirts and ready to cheer on Irinah's swimmers for the annual
Swimming Gala. It was clearly one of the most anticipated events of the year!
All of us were cheering out loud, showing full support and encouragement for
our swimmers throughout the whole event. The sun was scorching hot that day but
instead of dampening our house spirit, our dragon spirit burned even more
fiercely.
All smiles with Thaneesha
(middle), our breaststroke swimmer, Petrina(left) and Karin (right).
Prior
to the event, our swimmers trained hard for multiple weeks in order to perform
their very best during the competition. On top of that, they still have to
participate in house run to train for cross country the following week. The
weather for the past couple of weeks were horrible and it rained heavily more
often than not which lead to the swimmers having to sacrifice a couple of their
training hours.
Regardless of all of that, the hard
work paid off as the seniors emerged as champions and even though the juniors
came in fourth, they're still champions in our hearts. We’re also proud to say
that we have some new record holders from our house! Big thumbs up for Munira,
XinYee and Jin!
Our Senior Medley Relay Team!
To sum up this year's Swimming Gala,
cheers to all the girls in Irinah for the never ending support, cheers to the
Housemistress and the House tutors for the countless encouragement and
supervision during the swimming sessions, cheers to the non-swimmers who helped
out with the timings during the practices and last but certainly not least,
cheers to the swimmers who made everyone in Irinah proud!
