Beachside Swimming Carnival
On Tuesday 6 March our swim team travelled to Oakleigh Recreation Pool to compete in the Beachside Swimming Carnival. The sun was beaming down on the clear blue water and the crowd was buzzing with excitement about what the day would entail. Some notable swimmers competed in a number of events including Cara Jenkins competing in a total of six events and being awarded the 16 year old age group champion.
Georgia Macmillan swam competitively in six events for her 14 year old age group. Megan Kain competed in five events with a notable win in the 50m backstroke. Special mentions go to others in the team:
- Eva Byrden in the 100m backstroke
- Mya Winnell in the 200m freestyle
- Gabby Hall in the 50m breaststroke
- Eva Jenkins in the 50m butterfly and 50m backstroke
- Poppy Livings in the 50m butterfly
- Tara Kelly in 50m freestyle
- Olive Lyons in the 50m backstroke
All have progressed to the Southern Metropolitan Regional (SMR) level to compete on Wednesday 28 March at MSAC.
Our 12-13 year old, 14 year old and 15 year old freestyle relay teams all came away with a win and are also progressing to the SMR level. It was also pleasing to see that our junior, intermediate and senior girls were awarded the overall swimming champions contributing to the overall girls’ champions on the day. Well done team!
Students who have qualified for the SMR competition will be provided with additional information about this event.
A big thank you to the staff – Ms Moline, Mr Hall and Mr Bell for accompanying the team on the day. Thanks also to all the parents and grandparents who attended to help cheer on the team.
