Concordia’s first annual swimming carnival took place at the
City Baths on Monday 14 March 1960.
Apart from the individual and house competition, there was
the added thrill of watching a competitor in the Rome Olympics, Miss Dale Krieg,
as she swam a demonstration lap or two. She was accompanied by the college
champion boy swimmer, Peter Sander.
In 1961 the carnival included novelty events such as
clown-diving by the boys, a water ballet with specially trained girls and an
exhibition swim by a Dutch Olympian.
