Swimming competition

Rosslyn Academy has a very strong athletic program which gives children at all ages an opportunity to compete in a variety of sports. Max and Simon have been participating in soccer intramurals and track and field intramurals. They also both made the swim team and practice twice a week in the pool on campus.

Simon had a stellar start to his season by advancing to triple AAA level of competition (only three Rosslyn students attained that level of success). Both boys have shown remarkable improvement in stroke execution, flip turns and breathing techniques. Today they took part in another meet and we are so proud of their performance! It was very exciting!Simon placed first in 50m backstroke and first in 50m freestyle. He placed third in 50m breast stroke.
Max placed first in 50m backstroke and third in 50m freestyle.

The boys were also chosen to swim the 200m freestyle relay. It was fun to see them both swim on the same relay team. They placed second and lost to an older, more experienced team of boys. Above are (left to right) Max, Joshua, Simon, and Hunter just after their race.
