Grade 12: Swimming Competition

On October 15, 2015 the Swimming Competition was held right before theShanghaiHigh School150th Anniversary break. All the contestants arrived at the swimming building during PE class and changed into their swimming gear. At the swimming pool, some contestants were already swimming laps in the pool to warm up. Soon, the PE teacher called out names and assigned students their respective tracks. Contestants stood on their diving boards or went into the pool. And then, the swimming competition began! The audience stood beside the pool and cheered as they watched. The outcomes were more unpredictable than one might think, as being in the lead at first does not mean a swimmer will remain there. Finally, as individual events ended, the long awaited teamwork part of the competition came--the relay. Each team was composed of four swimmers, and each swimmer completed 25 meters. The friendly swimming competition ended with congratulations from one contestant to another.
