The Senior School Swimming Carnival for 2025 was held at the R A I Grant Centre on Tuesday 4 February. The carnival attracted a record number of entries, and it was pleasing to see more boys keen to participate in the annual competition. A special thank you to all those involved in the organisation of the carnival, especially Dr Andrew Mansfield (Deputy Head Operations), Mr Gareth Inches (Sportsmaster) and Mr John McClelland (Chief Timekeeper).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NEW School Records!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The afternoon got off to a blistering start, with Vice-Captain Ethan Cook<\/strong> breaking the 200 Individual Medley record by 4 seconds \u2013 a record he held last year. Over the afternoon, 12 School records were broken, which is a testament to the School\u2019s current level of swimming, which is the best that Shore has seen. Out of a total of 37 records, there are only eight records left that haven\u2019t been set by boys currently at the School!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 12 NEW records that were set in 2025 include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Congratulations to our Age Champions, who performed exceptionally well across the range of events swum.
