ST Martins Lutheran College welcomed back its annual secondary school swimming carnival last month.

Held at the new Wulanda Recreation and Convention Centre, students survived a scorching 38 degree day.

At the end of the event it was Tremelling which finished on top with a total of 473.5 points.

They defeated Livingston in second with 417.5, followed by Whitty (384) and Yeates (377).

Good spirits were shown throughout the day, with championship and novelty events and free-swimming time providing plenty of opportunity to hit the water.

“It was great to see students back in the pool, with the last Swimming Carnival being held in 2020,” Middle/Senior sports coordinator Michael Minuzzo said.

“Students participated well with great competition and the St Martins spirit displayed throughout the carnival, filling a large number of events, with strong results.

“Thank you to Brendan Dening who volunteered his time in support of the secondary swimming carnival and it was a successful day for all involved.”
