2021 SJRC Swimming Carnival Information

Our annual SJRC Swimming Carnival is to be held on Tuesday the 16th of February 2021 (week 4) at Port Macquarie Olympic Pool.  This is a compulsory day for all students and attendance is marked on this years report.

There are four main events swum on the day – freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly.  Students have a choice of swimming these races in the 50m or 25m pool.  4x50m freestyle relays (worth double points) are held after lunch.

Participation is what wins the House Shield.  Participation points in the 50m pool are worth 5 points and the 25m pool – 1 point.  Students who finish in the top 4 times in the 50m pool are awarded bonus points.  The students who finish first and second in the points race over the day are awarded Age Champion trophies and Runner up medals.

Students who live in Port Macquarie or have parents who work in Port Macquarie may meet us at the pool on carnival day.   Students can be dropped from 8:15am onwards.  PC teachers are keeping a record of this.  Please provide a note if meeting at the pool or wanting to leave from the pool to PC teachers prior to carnival day.  All other students are bussed to the pool.

Parents and family are very welcome to attend and enjoy the healthy house competition.  There is an entry fee of $1.50 for spectators.  Students wishing to remain at the pool at the completion of the carnival must leave the premises and then re-enter paying any fee necessary.  NB: No student may leave the carnival until after the presentation – 2:45pm.

Uniform requirements: students may wear house colours to and from school.

Students who finish in the first 2 places for each event (on times) qualify for the Diocesan Carnival to be held in Lismore on Thursday the 4th of March 2021.  

Due to our large number, some events are not swum on carnival day.  Students who wish to compete in the following events have to provide times (from the NSW Swimming Website) to Mr. Cannon by 8:30am Friday the 19th of February – 100m freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 100 backstroke, 100 butterfly, 200 IM & 200 freestyle.  The top two times will progress in each division.  Students wishing to nominate for the 400m Freestyle please do so at the link below.
