Congratulations to all swimmers listed above and Glenelg for being the clear winners of the 2011 Grand Aggregate.
A huge thank you must go to all the student leaders, staff, parents and old collegians who gave up their time to help throughout out the day, whether it be marshalling, recording, timekeeping or setting and packing up the pool. Without your help the Swimming Sports would not have taken place so smoothly.
