Carefully selected team

Some members of our school swimming team have been actively and professionally engaged in swimming (Tara and Aleksandar). However, according to our PE teacher, Stefan, a crucial factor in the process of forming the team was their commitment to PE lessons, especially to the lessons that were held in the pool. As responsible, mannered and disciplined individuals, they carefully followed the instructions of their PE teacher Stefan in order to perfect their swimming skills as well as strengthen their sporting spirit. In short, they showed excellent sports manners.

I swim for my school

Warming up, negotiating tactics, last advice before the start of  the competition and the announcer declared the beginning of the show.
