The Sports Spectacle

MTS Swimming Carnival

On Monday of Week 7, we were graced with a delightfully brisk morning for our annual Swimming Carnival at Dickson Aquatic Centre. The competition between the four houses—Jackman, Alcott, Barty, and Irwin—was so intense that we might as well have been hosting the Olympic Trials! Competitive swimmers dove in with the kind of determination that could only be matched by a cat chasing a laser pointer. Every stroke felt like an epic battle, with swimmers trying to outpace each other as if there was a prize for the first one to the end!

House Results

Barty: 396 points

Jackman: 626 points

Irwin: 622 points

Alcott: 579 points 

Congratulations Jackman!

Grace and Coby (Two of our Jackman Competitive swimmers) received the Swimming Carnival Plaque on Wednesday last week.

On Monday afternoon, ribbons were awarded to our place winners in all competitive stroke events. Congratulations to all recipients for their outstanding performances.

A special commendation goes to our Age Champions, who were presented with certificates in recognition of their achievements. These swimmers accumulated points based on their participation in each race, with specific point values assigned according to their finishing positions.
