Swim a mile with a smile

Last friday, all of t.y. and 5th year L.C.V.P. took part in the Swim a mile with a Smile.
Swim a mile with a smile was set up by Brian and Laura Daly (eimear's parents) in memory of their son Ian sadly passed away due to cancer.
The swim raises much needed funds for barrtestown and crumlin childrens hospital

I swam a mile with my team (louise and emma) and then i swam an extra 12 lengths to bring it up to half a mile

and in total we all swam 40 miles (beating the wolstans record!!!!!!!!)

BRAVEFORCE

So last wednesday, all of T.Y. went on an assault course in co. meath... it was called braveforce. I can safely say that it was one of the best days of T.Y. so far. I absolutely LOVED IT.
There was lots of muddy water and things to hop over, and it was tough, but we all managed to finish. By the end of the day we were soaking wet and we had to go up inot a freeeeeeeezing cold warehouse to dry off and get changed. words cannot desribe the coldness of that room. My hands were shaking and my lips were blue, i could actually see my own breath. It was well worth it though!
When we were all dry and changed we went into a room for the presentation of przes, and our school won the biggest enrty :) we got a trophy and brona got a medal for doing so well.
It was such an amazing day and next years tys should definately do it!!!
