Moorabbin District Swimming Carnival

Well done to the Ormond Primary School Swim Team on their terrific performances at the Moorabbin District Swimming Carnival. We had a great day at GESAC finishing 6th overall.

A huge congratulations to Evan L (5K) who won the 11yo Boys 50m Freestyle, and placed 2nd in the 11yo Boys Butterfly. Evan will now go on to represent the District at the Division Swimming Carnival.

Other notable efforts were Brian S (6V) who finished 2nd in the 11yo Boys Breaststroke, and Harvey T (6D) who placed 3rd in the 12yo Butterfly. Well done!
