Swimming Squad Trials for the 2026 St Simon Swimming Team

Later this term, our school will be conducting swimming squad trials to select our 2026 St Simon the Apostle Swimming Team to compete at Wantrina District Swimming interschool competition. 

Students have been asked about their interest in trying out for the swimming squad in their freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. 

All students who have expressed interest will have an Operoo permission form sent home to their parents listing the dates of our swimming trials at Dandenong Oasis before school (7:15-8:30am). 

Year 5 students and Year 2 students - Friday 5th December

Year 3 students and Year 4 students - Monday 8th December

We ask parents to deliberate and select the strokes your child wishes to try out for the team on the Operoo form. If they know how to perform all four swimming strokes, please encourage your child to try out for all of them or as many as they are capable of swimming.

If you wish for your child to try out for the 2026 swimming squad but have not received an Operoo permission form, please contact Mr Karl Camerino by email : karl.camerino@ssrowville.catholic.edu.au

St Simon Interschool Sport Team Jerseys & Short

We ask all parents to please check if your child/ren still have a St Simon Singlet, Football/Netball Jersey or Team Uniform or Team Shorts at home used at either District or Division Winter and/or Summer Sports or Division Athletics or District Basketball. 

If your child has one of the school team uniforms at home, please return it to the school office as soon as possible.

Thank you!
