Friendly Swim Meet

Emma preparing for her first race in lane 2 at the International School of Kenya's (ISK) invitational swim meet with Rosslyn Academy this past Thursday.

Cheering Section!

Coming from behind!
In Emma's first race (freestyle), she was a little confused by the starting whistles and had a long delay on the blocks. Although she didn't jump in until the rest of the other girls were already in the water, she pulled up from behind and finished second. Way to go Emma! This was also Emma's first time to race in breast stroke, and she raced bravely. She also did well in her third race, backstroke. We are so proud of our little swimmer!
It was a fun afternoon for the students of both ISK and Rosslyn as they competed together while the sun slanted down into the horizon.
