Our senior swimming carnival (Years 3-6) will be held on Thursday, 5th March at the Claremont Pool from 9:00am – 14:30pm. All students are expected to participate and will have the opportunity to choose the event/s they wish to enter. Students are encouraged to enter swimming stroke events. The shortest distance of 25 metres is a distance that most children should be able to swim. However, there will be some novelty events for swimmers who may find this distance challenging. In order to help with the placement of students in swimming events, the prompt completion of the online form linked below would be greatly appreciated.
Please note
- Selection for interschool representation will be based on performances in 50 metre events only.
- Children wishing to press for selection should enter 50 metre events.
- Children can only enter one distance of any particular stroke (i.e. 25m freestyle or 50m freestyle)
- Children are asked to enter at least two events.
- Relay teams for the faction carnival are chosen on the day from the fastest 50 metre times. This is to be overseen by teachers acting as faction marshals.
- Competitive students may enter as many events as they like.
- Championship points for individual trophy winners are awarded to students from Years 3-6 in the strokes of 50m freestyle, 50m backstroke and 50m breaststroke.
- The kickboard event is only for students who are not confident swimmers.
Parents please ensure that your child can swim the distance indicated.
All children will need to wear the sport uniform (faction polo top) to the carnival with their bathers underneath. They will also need to bring a towel and a change of underwear for afterwards. All children will come back to school for the afternoon. Those parents who wish to take their child home from the carnival are welcome to do so, but must let supervising teachers know prior to the event. Parents and spectators are welcome to attend and support all children in our school.
As is the case at such events, we do need some parent helpers on the day to do timekeeping and recording jobs. If you would be available/interested in helping out on carnival day, please send me an email indicating your interest. My e-mail address is alex.paljetak@cewa.edu.au
Thank you for your support.
