Secondary School Swimming Carnival

News
5 March 2021

The Secondary School Swimming Carnival was a successful day for all involved.

The increasing number of boys who are wearing the new House shirts has been fantastic to see and has largely contributed to the growing House spirit and sense of friendly rivalry between Houses.

We managed to see three college records get broken by Fergus McLachlan. These were achieved in the Year 11 50m Butterfly (25.60), 50m Freestyle (24.54) and 50m Backstroke (27.77).

Watsford was able to take out the top honours by managing to accumulate 1207.5 points due having a number of strong swimmers across all year levels. Taylor was able to take bragging rights in one of the main events 6 x 50 Freestyle relay winning by just under a second in what was one of the closest races for the day.

The main event the Champions of Champions race lived up to the hype with many household names competing for PAC’s highest internal swimming honour. Fergus McLachlan raced out the blocks early and never looked to be beaten as he claimed his third consecutive title. Congratulations to Fred Hassell, Fergus Keighran, Alexander MacDonald, Martin Ng, Fergus McLachlan and Isaac Keighran who were crowned Year Level Champions for scoring the most amount of points for their respective year levels.

Overall a very rememberable day especially for the Year 12 boys who will end their Swimming Carnival experience on a high. Thank you to all the staff for their help in making the day possible in particular Mr Brown and Mrs Trengove.
