2022 Swimming Carnival

On Friday 11 February 2022, Boorowa Central School held its annual combined K-12 swimming carnival at the Boorowa War Memorial Pool. It was a wonderful day filled with colour and competition. The carnival displayed many impressive individual performances, elevated levels of encouragement from our students as well as a great community spirit from our parent helpers. Our students had a wonderful day and all who attended are to be commended for the way they represented themselves, participated and volunteered to assist in the running of the carnival.

A huge thank you to our Southern Inland Swimming Area (SISA) officials, Julie Poplin, who volunteered to assist in the running of the carnival and to the Boorowa Swimming club for the hire of the club's equipment and timing system. 

 

Finally, a big congratulations to Blue House (916) who took out the 2022 swimming carnival by narrowly defeating Green House (766) in a hotly contested carnival. Well done.
