NSW All School Swimming

NSW All School Swimming competition was held on the 1-2 June at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre. On Thursday students Emma Ward, Olivia Treadwell, Maya Ostapenko, and Evie Lange went to the pool to race in the 4×50 freestyle relay and the 4×50 IM relay. In the freestyle relay the team was seeded to come 8th and they came 4th place with an incredible personal best, which was very exciting. In the IM relay we came 4th place again. The next day, Olivia and Maya made their way to SOPAC to race in their individual events. Maya was racing the 400m freestyle and the 50m butterfly. Olivia was racing the 50m backstroke. It was a good day of racing for the pair with Olivia scoring a new personal best of 32 seconds in her 50m backstroke. Overall, it was a great competition and the whole team should be extremely proud.
