2020 Swimming carnival results and gallery

On Friday 14 February, Blackfriars held its 50th annual swimming carnival at the Adelaide Aquatic Centre. It was a fun day out for staff and students alike, with plenty of successes across both swimming and water polo – and of course the novelty continuous relay.

It was a hard-fought battle for first place, with the lead changing multiple times during the day, but ultimately Denifle/Jarrett edged out the competition to claim victory. It was great to see students get into the spirit of the event, cheering each other on and supporting their Houses.

There were a number of ways we marked the 50th anniversary of this event – to read more about that side of the day, click here.

In the meantime, key results and a selection of photos from the day will be progressively added to this page as they come to hand.
