The annual SACCSS Swimming carnival was held on Tuesday 29 March at MSAC in Albert Park. With a short turnaround from the house carnival, a break from competition for a few years and covid isolation rules, our team this year was only 20 students. However, this didn’t stop these students from giving their all in representing our College and swimming as many events as they could.

We had multiple students swimming extra events, shuffling teams around to ensure we could enter as many relays as possible and even some students swimming the day in an age group above their own. The best individual performances on the day were Chloe Burke from 8 Kulin and Scarlet Valori from 10 Koroit who both finished runners up in their age group by only a couple of points. Special mention also to the intermediate girls who combined to win both the Medley and Freestyle relays.

Thanks to the efforts of all our swimmers, we finished 3rd in the junior category and 4th in the intermediate category. This has resulted in us again remaining in division one for 2023, an amazing achievement for such a small team.

Thank you to all the swimmers for their efforts on the day and those that weren’t able to make it for various reasons.
