As this carnival serves as a selection trial for the SCAS swimming team for the HRIS Secondary 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 Secondary Swimming Championships will take place on Friday, 6 March, 2026 at The Forum, University of Newcastle.
