District Swimming

On Friday, 20th of February, a group of 17 students from years 3-6 travelled to Victoria University Swim Centre to compete in the annual district swimming competition. 

The students participated in 50 metre events of freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly. We also had a team for the medley relay and freestyle relay events. It was a full morning of swimming, and all the students at SMDP competed in their best spirits and gave it their best. Some students who finished 1st or 2nd have now qualified to compete at the Hobsons Bay division level, which was held today, Thursday, March 5th, at Werribee Outdoor pool.

As a school we finished 3rd overall and we had 9 students move on to the Division event. Jill and Ivy swam in the 100m championship race with Jill finishing 3rd and Ivy winning.

Congratulations to our amazing swimmers.
