Forty-nine young athletes from 20 schools in the Archdiocese of Sydney are set to compete at the NSW Primary School Sports Association (NSWPSSA) Swimming Championships on Wednesday 6 April following a stellar day in the pool.
More than 120 athletes from 52 Sydney Catholic schools competed in the 2022 NSWCPS Swimming Championships at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre on 22 March.
Forty-nine swimmers collected 60 medals – 25 gold, 18 silver, and 17 bronze.
