Swimming Carnival: 

On the 13th February, we hosted our annual swimming carnival at Croydon Memorial pool. Despite a cooler day than usual, it was amazing to see the participation in all events. The venue was flooded in a sea of blue, green, red and yellow. Each house was heavily represented in the events throughout the day. It was especially encouraging to see the incredible number of students in the walking lane, water polo and nine square. 

Congratulations to all swimmers who participated and were awarded vital points for their house. We witnessed outstanding results with plenty of students taking away multiple blue ribbons and booking their spot in the 2023 Mooroolbark College swimming team.  

I would like to give a massive thank you to all staff who assisted with officiating, supervising and taking part in the events on the day. I look forward to our athletics and cross country carnivals later in the year.  

 

Division Swimming: 

Well done to Jordan Barnewall and Owen Wahrenberger who won multiple events at the division carnival and progressed through to the EMR event as age group champions. Congratulations to Liam Price, James Flewellen and Jacob Garratt who also won their way through to EMR swimming in one or more events.
