Swimming Carnival

My university recently held a swiming carnival for those who live on campus in the residences. Although it seemed too cold to swim I went along to support my hall and take photos. There were the usual events such as freestyle and breaststroke first, but then after one of the races they decided it would be fun to have a competition of which hall could get the most people into the pool at once.... I was in jeans... there was no way I was getting into that water!! Thankfully I managed to escape and not be thrown in, although other non swimmers weren't so lucky. The worst I got was a few wet people coming up to give me hugs lol.

Later in the evening they had the belly flopping events (ouch!!) and then the dive bombing competition. Some of the splashes were incredible! Funny thing was the guy who won was really skinny! I have no idea how he managed to get such a big splash, beating much larger, heavier guys lol.

So that was a pretty fun night, a good excuse to get out of uni work for a while :) My hall didn't win but we came a really close second.
