Record breakers unite!

What a great turnout of swimmers at the new Casino pool for our annual swimming carnival. The teams cheered loudly to support their swimmers and the battle of the houses began.

The final scores were Liddell: 329 points Elliot: 281 points Taylor: 184 points making Liddell the champions this year!

Our young students new to the carnival enjoyed the 25m races to gain points for their house and the seniors put on a tasty BBQ to re-energise the swimmers.

We congratulate all the swimmers and all the record breakers listed below.
