The day saw records fall and a new rivalry begin between Nangwiya (Green) and Wagarra (Blue) emerging.
This years competition saw a new record created, with Lachlan Payne clocking 32.28 seconds in the 16 years Backstroke. There was lots happening pool-side this year with a range of new novelty events added to the line up, including minute to win it challenges and a hula-hoop competition which were well received, but it was the Year 12 bombing competition that was the biggest crowd pleaser on the day.
