Last Thursday, Christ Church’s strongest swimmers competed in the JPSSA and PSA Interschool Swimming Carnivals, achieving remarkable success.

The Preparatory team came out with the first place trophy with 618 points. The Senior team secured a commendable second place with 958 points, with Scotch College coming first. Despite fierce competition, our swimmers showcased exceptional talent and sportsmanship, supported by dedicated coaches and staff. The day was a testament to teamwork, perseverance, and the School’s core values – in particular integrity and excellence. There were a number of records broken at the PSA Interschool swimming carnival, listed below.

Our junior and senior swimmers should be exceptionally proud of their efforts and the contribution – both individually and collectively – that they have made to the School’s sporting legacy. You can rewatch the action and view the results for both carnivals here.
