lower eyre peninsula primary swimming championships

Annually, Lower Eyre Peninsula Primary School aged swimmers have the opportunity to represent their school and compete in a day long competitive swimming experience. Held on the Friday of Week 3 in Term 4 at the Port Lincoln Pool, swimmers race in both individual and team events. Team scores are tallied at the conclusion of racing and the Port Lincoln City Council's Perpetual Shield and Chris Wareing Memorial Shield are awarded. In 2023 the champion school team was Navigator College and winner of the Chris Wareing Memorial Shield was also Navigator College.

​In 2023 one new record was set. Tyrell Nemeth-Ford (St Josephs School) broke the existing record for the 13 year old boys 50m Breastroke. The old record was set by Bryce Hammond in 2019 (39.96) and Tyrell rewrote this by swimming a 38.83. Well done Tyrell!
