WATER was perfect, day was just right (not too hot, not too cold), and there was a challenge in the air.

Which house would win the annual Euroa Secondary College Swimming Carnival – Furlonge (in yellow), Crieghton (in green) or Kirkland (in red)?

After the house parade it was into the water; freestyle, back-stroke, breast-stroke, relays and the much anticipated novelty races for those who like a challenge, but not necessarily a win.

The fun races included the all-in points race, the raft race and the floaty race.

The entire school was involved with the student leaders on the SRC putting on a fundraising barbecue.

The results for each age group were 13-year-old girl Lara Saxon, boy Darby Hoare, 14-year-old girl Beryl Farrell, boy Patrick Holden, 15-year-old girl Macey Watson, boy Sam Mills, 16-year-old girl Oakley Paul, boy Angus Rowe, 17-year-old girl Ally Davidson, boy Tyler Kipping, 20-year-old Rachael Buerckner, boy Will Creevey.

The overall winners were Lara Saxon and Rachael Buerckner.

A big congratulations to all the students and staff for making this a great day.

House of the day was Furlonge, followed by Kirkland and Creighton.
