On Thursday 2nd May students from Class 1 to Class 10 travelled to the Australian Independent School for the annual BSSA Swimming Carnival. Nine schools competed to be crowned the 2019 BSSA Swimming Champions. Unfortunately Dyatmika did not place in the top 4 overall, but there were some excellent individual performances and all students represented the school admirably. The carnival was particularly exciting for our Class 1 and 2 students, who were experiencing an event of this size for the first time. The PE department would like to say a big thank you to all parents who came and supported the event. Your help was much appreciated
For each stroke students raced in a heat to qualify for the final, followed by the final itself. A special mention should go to Ella in Class 6 who set a new BSSA Record for the Girls 11 years 25m Backstroke, with a time of 17.94s.
