Brothers Campbell and Hunter Whyte put in powerhouse efforts in the pool, claiming the junior boys and 11-years boys titles respectively.
While Linley Elliott and Alana Haiming were too close to split in the 11-years girls age championship.
It was an absolutely wonderful day with great sportsmanship.
- Anne Cowell, Turvey Park Public School
Last year's 11-years champions, Myles Ellis and Mia Huggett, produced repeat efforts to take home age championships in the senior division.
Oxley House also made a successful defence of its title to claim the overall prize again.
But the carnival was about more than just the top performers.
"It was an absolutely wonderful day with great sportsmanship, the students' behaviour was wonderful with great community and parental involvement helping out with timekeeping and other duties," carnival coordinator Anne Cowell said.
"The kids showed some great swimming carnival spirit."
