At the very successful K-12 twilight swimming carnival last Wednesday evening, the crowd of parents, supporters and swimmers was thrilled to witness Michael Hinds breaking three records, two of which were long standing records held since 1983 and 1984.
Michael Hinds was accredited with the following records.
* 15 boys 200IM - Michael set a new record of 3.05.46 breaking John Dunn’s 2006 time of 3.12.20.
* 15 boys 50 m freestyle - Michael set a new record of 28.75 breaking Grant Brewer’s 1983 time of 29.70
* 15 boys 50m butterfly - Michael set a new time of 33.02 breaking Paul Corcoran’s 1984 time of 33.99
Congratulations also to Marlie McIntosh for breaking the following records.
In the girls 10 U 100m freestyle Marlie set a new time of 2.15.79 breaking her 2011 time 3.07.01
In the girls 10 & U 50m Butterfly Marlie set a new time of 1.12.82 breaking her sister Meg McIntosh’s time set in 2009.
It was pleasing to see many primary and secondary students choosing to swim in every event on the program from the 50m to the 200m events. It was also great to see so many swimmers participating in the 12 - 25m and novelty events earning their houses valuable participation points.
Final point scores were:
Secondary
Klim/O’Neill - 924
Thorpe/Freeman - 912
Primary
Primary Yellow - 574
Primary Blue - 535

Congratulations to all swimmers as all competed with great sportsmanship thoughout the day. Thanks must go to all the volunteers, staff, students and parents who helped officiate and helped with setting up and packing up.
