Association of Independent Co-Educational Schools (AICES) Swimming Championships

On Thursday March 30, ten of Emanuel’s elite swimmers represented the Combined District Secondary Sports Association (CDSSA) at the AICES Swimming Championships at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre. It was fantastic to see such a dedicated swim squad attend this representative event.

Jared Elbourne and Gabriella Goodridge

Gabriella Goodridge had a busy program swimming in several events on the day. She was victorious in the 50m Freestyle and placed third in the 50m butterfly.

Jared Elbourne competed in six events on the day and came away with a gold medal in the 50m breaststroke. Gabriella and Jared have now both qualified to represent AICES and Emanuel School at the Combined Independent Schools (CIS) Swimming Championships to be held early next month.

It was exciting to have two Emanuel relays also compete on the day, with our school and association finishing in good places on the overall points table.

Congratulations to our CDSSA swimming representatives on a very successful event: Jordan Behr, Jade Berson, Dylan Christie, Jared Elbourne, Gabriella Goodridge, Dylan Herdan, Mark Kang, Matthew Lowy, Jack Smagarinsky and Daniel Van Sluys Erlich.
