CSSA Primary State Biathlon Splash and Dash

On Thursday 20 October, CSSA will be running a Primary Biathlon Teams Event at the International Regatta Centre Penrith. Participants are to either swim for 150m (Years 3 and 4), 200m (Years 5 and 6) or run 2km (Year 3-6). It is recommended that students are either very strong swimmers or runners to be able to participate. The swim will be held in open water which is different to swimming in a pool. Please consider this before putting your child’s name forward.

Mr McSwan will be putting the final teams/pairs together (a swimmer and a runner) and will let the students know once this is finalised. If you would like to be considered for one of the teams then please contact Mr McSwan via email smcswan@gpcc.nsw.edu.au places are limited.
