PUPILS from Tavistock Community Primary School made a big splash last week when they took part in a swimming gala.

The school’s swim team were crowned champions after they won the large schools category.

The swimming gala, which saw several schools compete, was held last week at the Meadowlands Pool in Tavistock.

A spokesperson for the school said: ‘A huge congratulations to our A team of swimmers who won the local school’s Swimming Gala. Our B team also swam brilliantly, which means we hope to have a strong squad again next year!

‘Also we would like to say a big thank you to Mr Lake for his superb coaching.’
