School Carnival Swim Squad

Prepare for race day success with our school carnival swim squad

For many children, the school swimming carnival is their first taste of competition.

Our carnival squad helps swimmers feel confident, prepared, and excited for race day. Whether they're stepping onto the blocks for the first time or striving for a new personal best, each session will help build essential skills they need to succeed in the pool. Swimmers can expect to: 

  • Build confidence for race day
  • Improve stroke technique and speed
  • Learn race rules and etiquette
  • Practice starts, turns, and finishes
  • Experience relay teamwork

Carnival Squad will return again in Term 4 2026. Watch out for updates in September or send us your expression of interest below.
