Event Structure, Timing and Covid Considerations:
Our goal is to make our school swimming sports as student focused and relaxed as possible. It is an opportunity for our confident swimmers to experience respectful competition, and for our beginner/ novice swimmers to feel encouraged and supported. Due to the current covid restrictions, unfortunately there will be no spectators permitted at the event this year.
