This year the school's competitive swimmers spent a full day at Oasis Aquatic Centre, with students participating in the 25 metre events joining them for half a day.
Assistant principal Brent Fennessy said numbers were strong in the junior divisions, and the top swimmers enjoyed the opportunity to focus on their competition.
A trio of senior girls, Tayla Lawrence, Saskia Malzenski and Evie Perry, were a highlight.
"They are three very, very good swimmers," Fennessy said.
Malzenski set a new record in the senior 50m butterfly, which has stood for 15 years, by just under six seconds, as well as the 50m breaststroke.
Lawrence posted new marks in both the 12 years 50m freestyle and senior 50m backstroke, with Perry also coming in below the previous record in the freestyle.
Lawrence's sister Andie broke the 8 years 50m freestyle.
Principal Grant Beard took on the year 6 cohort in a 50m freestyle, recording 33 seconds to claim the win.
