Swimming was held this year on the last day of Summer and, boy, did we know it! A great day was had by all, plenty of shade and sunscreen and the chance to participate in not just swimming events, but the 5 minute challenges, Melbourne Cup and Ball Toss in the wading pool meant everyone could keep cool.

A special congratulations to our Age Group Champions:

• U13 Amy Perry and Brodie Petty
• U14 Aimee Norris and Kai Burke
• U15 Bella Theophanous-Maddison and Seb Dickson
• U16 Maisie Hennessy and Deacon Talbot
• U17 Tash Elliott
• U21 Brooke Watson and Dean Warren

The BIG result for the day went like this:

• 1st Yarra
• 2nd Castella
• 3rd Olinda
• 4th Melba

Special mention to our winners of Best Costume – Sam Dahmen, Kori Roughley Gibson, Shae Scott and Gen Bowen, Trak Buller and Holly Skinner

Well done to Yarra House – Captains Kacey Buller and Hannah Ray and Leader Ms Sargeant.
