The other schools that participated at the event include Alex Park, Avondale, Borrowdale, St Martins and Moffat primary schools.
Pool Pump management, led by Shadreck Gumiremhete, unveiled a swimming wear sponsorship valued at US$500 whereby two top swimmers from each school were handed vouchers to purchase swimming suits.
Beatrice emerged winners after sending in a total of 178 girls and 210 boys to amass a total of 388 points. On second position was Alex Park who deployed 187 girls and 159 boys to amass 346 points.
Avondale was third with 137 girls and 178 boys to collect 315 points. Moffat came fourth with 279 points while St Martins and Borrowdale came fifth and sixth with 265 and 87 points respectively.
Speaking after the event, Pool Pump representative, Gumiremhete said it was their mandate as pool specialists to make sure schoolchildren have time to showcase what they possess in terms of swimming.
“We have to have these friendly galas time and again. We should not wait until it’s too late for the kids to show us what they can do. Again, as pool specialists, we are mandated to reward outstanding kids, that is the reason why we donated swimming wear vouchers valued at US$500,” Gumiremhete said.
