Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto Swimming Sports is being held at Wharenui Pool on Wednesday, 5th March (Week 6). This is an optional event open to children in Years 5 to 8.

Races are held for freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. For each stroke, there will be a 25m and 50m event. 

You may enter races in all strokes but may only enter one distance in each stroke. For example, you could enter 25m backstroke and 50m breaststroke but you can not enter 25m and 50m back stroke. Only competitors from the 50m events are eligible to be considered for Zones. You will race against your year group.

To take part, you must be a confident and competent swimmer for the stroke and distance you have entered. If you are unsure of your ability, please ask a teacher for advice. Parents and/or your swimming coach, (if you have one) are also great people to ask for advice.
