    It can be tough to fully acclimatise to conditions ahead of an open water swim, but there is plenty you can do on land to get yourself ready

    Whether you’re training or competing, a thorough warm up is essential before getting into the water

    In this video, World Championship medallist James Wilby demonstrates some key exercises which should have you well prepared for your next swim.

    The Year 6 Swim Gala took place yesterday in the glorious sunshine at the HKU Henry Fok Swimming Pool. Each child competed in two races at their own swimming level, which they had chosen. There was energy, excitement & lots of effort from everyone, all hoping to earn as many points as possible for their house! The relay races were particularly exciting, with everyone cheering for their fastest freestyle swimmers. The Sports Ambassadors worked hard to help organise the swimmers & collect the swim times from our parent volunteer timekeepers. Our noodle train race at the end was a lot of fun & cooled us all down perfectly! In the end, Dragons triumphed with 480 points, followed by Lions with 399 points, Phoenix with 379 points & Unicorns with 359 points. Well done to everyone who participated & thank you to our fabulous Aquakids swim teachers, Year 6 teachers, office staff & parent volunteers who helped the event run so smoothly.

    Witnesses say five teenage friends were initially swimming in the ocean when the water got rough. Two made it out immediately but the other three were clearly in trouble. Police say it appears as if the current claimed two young lives.
