Every school has its own swimming carnival as an annual event. These cater for the serious swimmers as well as novelty and fun events to encourage participation by all students. These events are great to foster school spirit and a chance for the school community to come together as one.
Schools select swimmers from their own carnival or swimmers who are competitive in time to compete at the PDSSSC swimming Carnival / selection trial which is held in March each year at SOPAC, Homebush. In 2023, the PDSSSC Swimming Championships will be held on Thursday 9th March.
There are events in 50m in the 4 strokes as well as 100m Freestyle for all ages, 100m Breaststroke, Backstroke and Butterfly and 200 freestyle in Junior (12,13,14), Intermediate (15, 16) and Senior (17+) divisions as well as 400m freestyle (Open). There are relays for schools in 4x50m free, 4x50m medley and 6x50m freestyle (which must includes a swimmer from each age 12 - 17+ from the school).
Please note - Ages for school swimming are based on the year you were born. Age is the age you are on 31st December in the year of the competition. In 2023, if you are born in 2011 - you are Under 12, born in 2010 - you are Under 13, born in 2009 - Under 14, etc.

I have received a lot of requests to enter additional swimmers into events after the draft program has been posted. No more swimmers will be added. This event is a NSWCCC selection event, not a Swimming NSW or Age Nationals qualifying meet. Apologies, but the answer will be consistent.
