2025 Swimming Carnival

Next year on Friday January 31st (Week 1), Mr Hambrook runs at the beginning of the year a Swimming Carnival at Geelong College Pool for Grade 3-6 students. This is to see which students are successful in attending the next Division level for swimming in Geelong and will represent ‘Mano’. Mr Hambrook has been asking students of interest who would like to be involved as this event is only for students who wish to participate and are competent and confident in swimming. There has been a wonderful amount of students from Grade 2, 3 and 4 who are keen and interested, but I am reminding them that this is a competitive sporting event and expectations are high.

Students will compete in their appropriate age group. Students must be able to swim and race 25 metres up and 25 metres back without stopping (50m) in either freestyle, backstroke, breast-stroke or butterfly. If you feel that your child cannot complete this distance please let Mr Hambrook know by the end of week 8 or 9. I will be sending out Compass notes for student permission in week 8 this term!

If any parents are able to help on the morning being a marshall or time-keeper please let Jessica or Georgia in the office know or come and speak to Mr Hambrook.
