Strong performances were put in by Jason Overton, Nathan Bruce, Amy Monk, Joel Coleman, James Pettit, Tim Bovis, Alex Beaton, Daniel Williams, Aydan Robson, Michael Campbell, Shane Smith, and Josh Symington.

Elyse Stone, Sarah Costelloe, Kate Hamilton, Ashlee Austin, Melissa Anderson, Ashlee Langford, Sam Rose all managed to secure places although the college's competitor of the carnival was Mariel Fietz.

Mariel swam every event in her age group (about 11 races) and won or received a place in every race she swam.

Mariel was just pipped for the zone age championship.

The carnival was a great day with not strong individual performances as well as good results in the relays.

The 12 years boys relay team from Umina won the event and broke a long-standing zone record.
