SWIMMING CARNIVAL
The 2025 Carnival will be held on Friday the 14th of March. Racing will start at 6.00pm. There will be a limited number of tickets for sale prior to the event, and these will be sold through our member schools.
Restricted vision tickets & any remaining school allocation tickets will be on sale from 5.30pm on the evening of the carnival at Perth HPC for those who were unable to secure a ticket but keen to attend the live event.
The 2025 event will be livestreamed and each school will be sent this link to share with their community prior to the event.
If parents are arranging to pick up their child following the competition, they must plan to meet them outside the door entry opposite the swimming reception. The front entrance to HBF will now be a thoroughfare as schools exit to buses through this area.
The IGSSA Swimming Carnival is held in Term 1 between all 8 IGSSA Member Schools and includes competitors from Year 7 to 12. It is the first big event on the IGSSA sporting calendar.
The carnival was first held in 1965. It was traditionally held at Beatty Park in Leederville, but moved to Challenge Stadium in 2009. The meet is officiated by Swimming WA Officials and the Host School.
