Blacktown 3 March 2018 23 February 2018 $20 + pool entry This is a great pool and the carnival has a variety of 50’s, 100’s & 200’s. Good warm-up for States.
Long Course State Championships @ Homebush (SOPAC) 17-18 March 2018 9 March 2018 $25 + $5/event The pool may be close to 2o years old now, but it is still a delight to race in. Come on out and do North Sydney proud including relays!

Remember – it doesn’t matter if you’ve never raced before OR how slow you are. If you are concerned about any rules, just ask your coaches in advance (and be sure to let them know the during the week if you are attending a carnival on the weekend).
