Trinity Swimming Off to a Stellar Start in 2024

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 Championships

This is our most important event, in which we competed against the top swimming schools in the state. A very formal and professionally run carnival, a large team participated enthusiastically to achieve consistent and outstanding results – boys and girls both finished in second place overall, with a second-place result. All swimmers did their best to achieve this great outcome. Many swimmers will soon receive placing certificates for finishing in the top three of individual and relay events. Some will receive a ‘standard’ certificate, which acknowledges a particularly fast time.

Especially noteworthy were swims by Isabella Dowler (Year 10), Mallika Fletcher (Year 9), Noah Lewcock (Year 8), Ocea Nesci (Year 8), Jarrad Smith (Year 11), Ewan Stubbings (Year 8), Harry Stubbings (Year 11), Fab Towers (Year 10) and Ula Waligora (Year 10) who all achieved a first-place finish in at least one individual race.

School Teams Swimming Championships

This was a swimming relay only meet, in which swimmers competed in year level groupings. Relays were a mixture of traditional and fun events. The team had a great night and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Overall, the boys team finished in second place and the girls team in third place.

The Year 9/10 girls (Miella Curthoys-Davies, Isabella Dowler, Ava Nesci, Madison Sanchez, Georgie Sloane, Emily Towers, Ula Waligora) ran out overall winners in their division, while the Year 11/12 boys (Keian Curthoys-Davies, Jarrad Smith, Harry Stubbings, Dinith Subasinha, Nic Vuksan, Matthew Waligora) finished first in a three-way tie.
