The Year 5/6 Swimming carnival has been swum and won. It was fantastic to see the College pool come alive with colour and excitement as the girls took to the pool. There were some big records broken on the day and some amazing swims. Not only did our top swimmers excel in the water but it was fantastic to see our beginner swimmers brave the water and an audience and compete in a number of events.

We must acknowledge the following girls who achieved some outstanding results.
