South West Division Swimming Championships

On Friday 12th March the South West Division Swimming Championships will be held at Aquazone, Warrnambool.  Entry to this carnival is on qualifying times.  This means that the fastest swimmers who can swim within the qualifying times in each event get to represent the school.

A swimmer may enter up to three individual events (50m) plus two relays (freestyle and medley).  Please note that there are limitations on the number of events each school can enter.  Age categories are 10 years, 11 years, and 12/13 years.  Age is taken as at 31st December, 2021 (ie. whatever age the child turns during 2021).  Cost of entry is $8.00 per swimmer, regardless of the number of events they compete in.  There are also events offered for children with a disability which do not require qualifying times.  These are 50m freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. 

If your child wishes to participate, please fill in the swimming entry form which is available from the office or from Ms. Owen.  This form must include swimming times that have been verified by a swimming coach or instructor over a distance of 50 metres, and returned to Mrs. Owen or the office by Wednesday 24th February, 2021.   Your child will then be advised if they have been selected.  Please note that the Region Championships (for students who proceed beyond the division Championships) will be held on a date to be set.

Parents are responsible for transport and supervision of their child/children at both of the Championships. 

**Please note that our School Athletics will also be held on Friday 12th March (ie. students who attend the swimming championships cannot attend the Athletics or qualify for regional Athletics events).
