The Middle School Inter-House Swimming Carnival took place on 21st February 2019 and was a fantastic event with students, staff and parents all entering into the spirit of the occasion. This year saw the introduction of House chants which added a competitive atmosphere in the stands. The competition was fierce; however, Hollows House emerged as Overall House Champions for the second successive year by 2 points!
As with the Senior School House Swimming Carnival, all students competed in a minimum of one event and could choose to participate in the following:
- 50m Freestyle
- 50m Backstroke
- 50m Butterfly
- 50m Breaststroke
- 100m Freestyle

It is a great honour to break a record at any level. To have your talents recognised is an achievement and must give a sense of pride, and therefore a special mention must be given to the following students;

- 100m Freestyle, 1.02.62
- 50m Freestyle, 27.78 This had stood for 10 years previously.
- 50m Backstroke, 31.93 This had stood for 10 years previously.
- 50m Breaststroke 36.62
Year 9, Charlotte Ericksen (Cuthbert House):
- 100m Freestyle, 1.04.68
- 50m Freestyle, 28.98
- 50m Backstroke 34.33 This had stood for 9 years previously.
