Swimming Trials

A reminder that we are holding our swimming trials for the District Swimming Carnival on Wednesday 15th of February at Ringwood Aqualink.  These will run from 730 - 830am.  These are for year 3 to 6 age students.  Students must be turning 9 by December 31 to qualify for trials.  The races will be timetrialed and the teams will be based on these times.  The student must be able to swim 50m safely to trial for these events.

Click here to sign up your student for the morning.  They can trial for 50m freestyle, backstroke, butterfly or breastroke.  The fourth fastest times will make up the relay teams.
