SCHOOL SPORT VICTORIA - SANDHURST DIVISION

Swimming & Diving 2026

On Friday 27 February, the CMCB Swimming Team competed at the Sandhurst Division Swimming Championships at the Faith Leech Aquatic Centre. The conditions were ideal, and our students made the most of the opportunity to represent the College.

All team members showed excellent sportsmanship and represented the school with enthusiasm. The day finished with strong individual and team performances, resulting in an overall first place for CMCB in the 13–16yr Female and Male categories, as well as the 17–20yr age group. Five students were also named Individual Age Group Champions, highlighting the team’s depth and commitment.

Nineteen students have now qualified for the Loddon Mallee Regional Final, which will be held in Swan Hill on Tuesday, March 10. We congratulate all competitors and wish them well as they move on to the next stage of competition.
