College Swimming Records a Great Start in 2023

March 16, 2023

Trinity College swimmers have had a great start to the year with excellent results achieved at the SSSSA A Grade Swimming Championships, School Teams Swimming Championships and the first three meets of SAAS Swimming. Well done to all participants on a great start to the year!

SSSSA A Grade Swimming Championships

The SSSSA A Grade Swimming Championships is the College's most important swimming meet. It's run in a very professional environment at the SA Leisure and Aquatics Centre and we compete against the top swimming schools in the state.

Results were very impressive, with a number of swimmers winning one or more races, and several swimmers achieving 'standards', which recognize swimmers who swam exceptionally fast times.

All swimmers competed enthusiastically. It was especially impressive to see all the swimmers who stepped up to swim in older age groups to ensure we had an entrant in all events.

Overall, the girls' team succeeded in a thrilling win, just two points clear of second placed Wilderness. The boys equalled last year's excellent performance, finishing in third place. Overall, on combined scores, Trinity College finished the night in second place.
