Swimming

Newington College records tumbled at the recent NSW All Schools Swimming Championships. Confirmation is currently taking place, however it is believed no fewer than nine long course College records were broken at SOPAC in May. All seven of our school’s swimmers who competed have done exceptionally well to make it to this stage of the representative Swimming season. Christopher Mina (6/HO), Jack Xu (7/ME), Jason Hartill (10/MO) and Callum Lowe-Griffiths (11/PR) have earned the right to compete on the international stage later this year at the Pacific School Games in Adelaide in November.
