2023 Primary School & High School Swimming Carnival
2023 started off strong with our Primary and High School swimming carnivals. It began on Monday 6 February with our Years 4 to 6 swimming carnival, followed by Years 7 to 11 on the Tuesday 7 February. Pimpama Hub Aqautic Centre was our new pool facility and it did not disappoint. Staff and students were dressed up in the House colours displaying their House spirit throughout the day. This was noticed by the quality of the warcrys and support for their swimmers each day.
“From a parents perspective, it was absolutely wonderful to see all of the King’s kids doing their teams proud and giving it a red hot crack in every event. The efforts of the children are to be commended. So many kids were excited at competing 50 metres, in strokes they say, they have never done before, but, in doing it, they got points for their houses. What a great attitude, and well-done kids!” - Shendelle Harrison (King’s Parent)
Congratulations to the age champions, new record holders, and the winning Houses from each carnival.

**If the swimming carnival has peaked your child’s interest in swimming, the Pimpama Sports Hub offers all levels of swimming, from learn to swim through to low and high level squad training, please contact Pimpama Sports Hub for more information. King’s Pimpama campus offered a school bus service too and from Pimpama Sports Hub which coincides with their squad training times**
Hinterland Swimming Team
King’s nominated our biggest Hinterland Representative Team, which saw 27 children compete against other schools in the Hinterland Green region on Monday 13 February. It was a hot day reaching 35 degrees, and many of the staff and parents wished we were entering the water as often as the kids were! The sports department is proud of these students giving their best efforts in pursuit of further swimming representation.
