Secondary School Swimming Carnival
The 2022 Secondary School Swimming Carnival was held over two days on Monday 7 February and Tuesday 8 February at the Braith Williams Aquatic and Fitness Centre at Pymble.
The carnival was a huge success with a great display of House spirit and participation by all students. The format of the carnival included both championship and non-championship events, as well as relays. The annual House mascot dance off was a crowd favourite and the relays were exhilarating to watch. A diving display was performed as the finale of both carnivals that showed off our divers’ expertise and outstanding abilities.
There were countless amazing performances on the day and highlights included seven records that were broken. Congratulations to the following girls:
Ellie Beck (Year 10)
16 Years 50m Backstroke 29.97 – Old record: 30.04
Bella Zhang (Year 11)
