Swimming Carnival News
This Year's Holy Trinity Swimming Carnival had had to be cancelled due to the ongoing nature on Covid regulations. The carnival was due to be run on the 18th of March. The Regional Carnival that was also due to be run in Week 8 of this term has also been cancelled by School Sports ACT.
With no School Carnivals nor Regional Swimming Carnivals as qualifying events, SSACT and Swimming ACT will implement a process to accept entries from schools across all events conducted within the ACT Champs Program. With qualifying times already established, they will calculate and confirm numbers of entries per event.
Entry times provided will have to be verifiable by Swimming ACT – they have a full data base of all ACT swim club meets, this unfortunately means that entered students will need to be part of a club or established swim squad.
SSACT will circulate details by Week 3 for competitive (club) swimmers to submit verified times (they will email me for times) for entry to ACT Swimming Championships scheduled for Term 2, Week 2.
Could anyone wishing to submit a time please contact Ben Davis via Ben.Davis@cg.catholic.edu.au.
