We’re still in the lead but Chang closed the gap on us last week. Only by 10.5 Baht but it’s a matter of pride for us now – let’s have a big week this week and show them who’s boss!

Swimming Galas - overall results!
Dear Dragons,
In term 1 we lost 50 house points to Chang in House Athletics when they beat our overall score by just 8 points. The worst thing was that we only had ourselves to blame – for the first time ever there were empty lanes and the famous Samui House Spirit just wasn’t there.
But what a difference I’ve witnessed over the last 2 days! The Y7s and Y8s were magnificent in the water yesterday – we’ve got some serious swimming talent in Y7 especially and our top swimmers collected a whole host of school records. Our Y9s and Y10s weren’t as strong in the water today but there were still some fantastic performances by some very talented individuals. But that’s not what really impressed me. The thing that really made me proud was the great team spirit that everyone showed: C swimmers who’d swum 4 races back to back but got in there and did another because their friend was injured; A swimmers who swam in every race because there was only a couple of them in the A category; B swimmers who got in there and had a go even if butterfly is their least favourite stroke. And did that awesome team spirit make any difference to the results this time?
The overall House Swimming Gala scores:
· 1st Lanta (927 + 805 = 1732) è 200 House Points
· 2nd Samui (by the skin of our teeth!!) ( 684 + 825 = 1509) è 150 House Points
· 3rd Chang (775 + 733 = 1508) è 100 House Points
· 4th Phuket (719 +727 = 1446) è 50 House Points
Can you believe that?! After all those races there was just 1 point in it! Just imagine, if any of our C racers had slowed down in the Boogie Board Relay even for a second and come in 4th instead of 3rd, Chang would have beaten us. If any of our B racers had decided not to give it 100% in the 100m IM because it’s such a hard race, Chang would have beaten us. If any of our A racers had taken their foot of the gas and not broken a school record, Chang would have beaten us. If any single one of you who competed in the galas had given even slightly less than your very maximum effort, Chang would have beaten us. But for the last 2 days, you’ve truly shown what it means to belong to Samui and we beat Chang.
Well done to all of the swimmers from Y7 to 10 – a superb 150 house point that every single last one of you contributed to.
Dread the Red! J
