Swimming Carnival

Due to COVID restrictions in place for Term 1, the St Joseph’s Swimming Carnival has been cancelled for this year. All Term 1 events/Regional Swimming Carnivals can not take place, but at this stage the SSACT 12&U ACT Swimming Championships could still take place in Week 2 of Term 2 – this would allow a State Team to be selected for the SSA National Champs scheduled for August in QLD. 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. Entry times provided will have to be verifiable by Swimming ACT – they have a full database of all ACT swim club meets, this unfortunately means that entered students will need to be part of a club or established swim squad. There is an option to attend an outside of school club to get a verified time for those students not a part of a registered club. Please contact me for further information. Verifiable times will need to come from the most recent season (Oct 2021 the earliest date). 

If you would like to nominate your child for the ACT Swimming championships please email koby.allan@cg.catholic.edu.au by no later than 26th February with your child’s name and DOB, Events and where the latest/personal performance times can be obtained e.g. Swimming ACT Meet Results, Swimming Australia National database etc. I will nominate students and once their times are verified will be in contact with those students who qualify.
