Sport and fun at the Aachen elementary school swimming festival
Around 200 children from 16 elementary school in Aachen went on the hunt for trophies, certificates and medals at the Aachen Primary Schools' Swimming Sports Festival in Aachen's Ost swimming hall at the end of last week. The endurance swimming, swimming sprints, diving, the "Juxstaffel" and - for the first time this year - the "Lifeguard" were fair, cheerful, colorful, social and loud. The teachers' swimming competition, which took place for the second time this year, is also set to become a permanent fixture.
Sporting winners of the tournament
"Die Segelfische" from the Vaalserquartier Community Primary School (GGS) took first place in the sporting competition. Second place went to "Die Wellenbrecher" from GGS Am Höfling. A very good third place was achieved by "Die Orcas" from the Catholic elementary school (KGS) Höfchensweg. These three teams received the coveted seahorse trophy. But there were no losers at the swimming sports festival: each team received a certificate and all children a medal for their participation.
The organizers of the swimming sports festival, Ilona Orlikowski, Headmistress of KGS Am Fischmarkt, Marcel Stempel, Deputy Headmaster of GGS Brühlstraße and Anja Ptak from the Sports Department of the City of Aachen and Managing Director of the School Sports Committee, as well as AOK Aachen as sponsor, were also delighted with the atmosphere and the sporting achievements.
The three winners of the Seahorse Cup: "Die Segelfische" from Vaalserquartier, "Die Wellenbrecher" from Höfling and "Die Orcas" from Höfchensweg.
