Middle School Inter-House Swimming Carnival Report 2018

The Middle School Inter-House Swimming Carnival took place on 15th February 2018 and was a fantastic event with students, staff and parents all entering into the spirit of the occasion. The competition was fierce; however, Hollows House emerged as Overall House Champions; an achievement they have not attained for 15 years!

All students competed in a minimum of one event and could choose to participate in the following:

• 50m Freestyle
• 50m Backstroke
• 50m Butterfly
• 50m Breaststroke

This year’s programme also included a special 100m Freestyle race to allow selected students to swim for a School record in this event.
