The Cobram Outdoor Pool buzzed with excitement on Wednesday, February 12, as Cobram Anglican Grammar students gathered for their much-anticipated annual Swim Carnival.

With trademark energy, enthusiasm and an undeniable sense of team spirit, the event felt like the biggest pool party of the year just as much as it did a competitive sporting event.

Parkes House continued its dominance in the pool, securing the coveted Swimming Shield with an impressive 115-point lead over their closest rival Farrer.

Student participation was outstanding, with swimmers giving their all in every race, showcasing both talent and determination.
