CHASE Lane won a recent primary schools swimming gala.

The event featured ten schools competing in a series of relays and stroke events and was held at Dovercourt pool.

Chase Lane secured the title after a strong team performance, with many of their boys and girls qualifying through heats.

It is the first time the Dovercourt school has won this event overall since 1992, when one of the school’s current teachers was competing as a pupil.
