2025 Eumundi SS Year 3-6 Inter house Swimming Carnival

Our annual school swimming carnival for ALL Year 3 to 6 students will be held on Tuesday 18 November (Term 4, Week 7) at the Eumundi Aquatic Centre. Students will be given opportunities to nominate in the following swimming events:

25m Freestyle, 25m Breaststroke, 25m Backstroke, 25m Butterfly, 50m Freestyle, 50m Breaststroke, 50m Backstroke and 50m Butterfly.

PLEASE NOTE: Less confident swimmers may choose to participate in one or more of the 25m swim events (Freestyle, Breaststroke or Backstroke only) with a supplied kickboard or pool noodle to increase participation on the day and still earn points for their sport house. Students not currently in a sport house will be placed in one shortly.

Swimming Carnival Nominations

All students will need to nominate for their swimming events via a paper nomination slip that will be completed at school with their class teachers. Nominations will need to be completed by Thursday 6 November (Week 5).
