Carnivals
The Nundah Sharks participate in swimming carnivals with other local clubs. Currently, we are involved in four carnivals each season (see below). The carnivals usually occur on a Saturday afternoon and are an opportunity to race your fastest and represent the gold and black. Some carnivals are ‘invitational’ – meaning that you can nominate to swim an event – while others may require you to be selected. Of course, carnivals often have a relay component so you can race with your teammates.
Parent volunteers & support
The club may be asked to supply volunteers to assist at each carnival. Usually a few timekeepers or referees. If your child is participating, please consider helping out
Our club hosts the Nundah X Swim Carnival in late November, we’ll need lots of our members to help out for this event. This is a great event for all families, and a chance to experience the Sharks team spirit.
