2024 IGSA Sport Swimming & Dive Championships

TERM 1

A College Representative squad is chosen after the College Swimming Inter-House Carnival in Term 1. The girls should be doing their own squad training. Year 7 students and any other new students will be timed in PE lessons and should email Ms Jacobs if they are interested in being selected for the IGSA Team.

The swimming team chosen form our College Carnival usually competes in the prestigious IGSA Carnival at Olympic Park, Homebush.
