The day was a great success, attended by Jenna Whittam and Shelley Nicholls from New Directions Education. Shelley said “we were very impressed with the successes of the young children from around Flintshire. In particular, Holly Bennett stood out to us as a very committed and ambitious young sportsperson. Mrs Ormes from St Winefride’s spoke out about her at the presentation and gave a lovely introduction. Holly has won 40 Gold Medals since September, and trains at her swimming 7 times per week. She gets up at 5:30am twice per week and is in the pool at 6am before school. She is also in the pool by 7am every Saturday and Sunday Morning. A very impressive commitment from such a young girl”
