Middleton Public School had a lovely day down at the Parkes Pool for their annual swimming carnival.

Their swimming carnival saw sun, rain, clouds, hot weather, cold weather and high student participation which made the carnival a great day out.

Senior girls champion was taken out by Emily Wild with Izzy Lucas placing second and Paige Cross close by in third.

Ashton Robinson and Will Rockwell were joint junior boys champions as Carter Bateson claimed second and Nate Sharwood claiming third.

As soon as the day started all we could hear was the roars, cheers and chants of the students supporting their peers.

First was the 50m freestyle where there were twice as many students competing in it from the previous year!

Almost everybody had a crack at an event.

We also had some novelty events including the run and walk race, wade and bob and as well as a relay at the end of the day.

Even though throughout the day there was rain and lighting, we still managed to get all our events finished on time.

All the work from the teachers behind the scenes did not go unnoticed which brought our swimming carnival together.

At the end of the day we were lucky enough to be able to send 23 of our talented students to Lachlan Swimming.

Overall the swimming carnival was a splash!
