Melville Intermediate - Swimming Try Outs

When we went to the pools for our try outs. We were really nervous, after our try outs, all of us were puffed. Were waiting for the teacher to tell us who made the team and who didn't.

The Melville Intermediate school swimming team is being selected next Tuesday for the Waikato Inter-Intermediate Competition.

When we have a sports event that's part of the Inter-Intermediate Competititon we will be competing against Berkley Intermediate, Cambridge Intermediate, Fairfeld Intermediate, Maeroa Intermediate, Matamata Intermediate, Morinsville Intermediate, Peachgrove Intermediate, St Andrews Middle School, Te Awamutu Intermediate and Tokoroa Intermediate.

We will be swimming at the Univesity of Waikato Swimming Pool for our school Swimming Sports on Tuesday and the winners and those with the best times will be competing in Cambridge the following Monday.

  6. Jamie,

    Hi! this is Anita from 5JT and I'm happy to answer your questions.
    Do you eat dinner at school?
    No, we do not eat dinner at school because we end school at 2:55 p.m.
    Do you eat the same lunch?
    It depends. In our cafeteria we have many choices, so some times we eat the same, some times we don't.
    What time do you have to be in class by?
    We have to be in class by 8:05, but we can come in at 7:55. It does not matter a lot if we are late (because the buses are often late), but we are not allowed to come in before 7:55.
    I hope this helps. Bye!

  14. Jamie,

    Hi again! This is Anita from Mr. Toa's class. I will answer the questions I have not answered yet. You might find some answers in my previous post.

    2. Do you go swimming at your school or at another school?
    I am not sure because we do not take an aquatics course. I am not on the swim team.
    3: How many times do you go swimming a week and for how long for.
    Again, I am not sure because we do not take an aquatics course. You have to ask the people on the swim team.
