Catholic Schools Swimming Carnival

On Tuesday March 28^th, the St Pius X Swimming Team competed in the Catholic Schools Swimming Carnival at the Burnside Pool.  There were 7 other schools in Division 2 of the 9 Division Competition. 23 students were excited from the start to swim their best in front of a fabulous cheer squad of their peers, parents and grandparents. We had a prime viewing position from the side of the pool, nestled amongst the beautiful big trees.

We witnessed some excellent swimming with 18 students receiving a total of 44 ribbons between them, for placing 1^st 2^nd 3^rd or 4^th in one of 88 events. Our students received 2x1^st, 8x2^nd, 12x3^rd and 22x4^th place ribbons. The excitement level remained high all afternoon, despite it being cool, and the cheer and support of each other was beautiful to witness. In the school competition, the girls achieved 4^th place overall while the boys achieved 8^th place.  Well done to all swimmers!
