As this carnival serves as a selection trial for the SCAS swimming team for the HRIS Primary Swimming Championships, a disqualification process will be implemented on the day where, at the discretion of SCAS staff, any swimmer who is determined to have gained an unfair advantage will be disqualified. A warning will be provided for minor indiscretions which do not impact the result of the race.

The HRIS Primary Swimming Championships will take place on Friday, 27 February 2026 at The Forum, Uni of Newcastle.

At the HRIS Swimming Championships, 8 year olds will be eligible to compete in their own age category for the 50m Freestyle event only. The 50m Breaststroke, Backstroke and Butterfly are run as 10 Years and Under events.
