2025 ACS Swimming Championship Results

2025 ACS Swimming Carnival Recap and Results

Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre | Monday 31 March

The 2025 ACS Swimming Carnival was an electric day of competition, school pride, and record-breaking performances, held at the world-class Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.

This year’s carnival welcomed Aitken College into the fold, bringing the total to eight schools competing for aquatic supremacy in what turned out to be one of the most exciting carnivals in ACS history.

A New Champion is Crowned

In a competition defined by determination and resilience, the lead changed hands multiple times, with the top two schools separated by only a few points for most of the day.

For the past decade, St Leonard’s College has been the benchmark in ACS Swimming, securing 10 consecutive championship titles with their depth, talent, and consistency. And while St Leonard’s once again delivered a brilliant display of team performance and spirit, they were narrowly outpaced by a fierce and focused Westbourne Grammar School.

In a thrilling finish, Westbourne Grammar claimed victory by just 20 points, unseating the long-reigning champions and etching their name into the history books as the new ACS Swimming Champions.

For the first time in a decade, we have a new champion—and a new rivalry is born.

Record-Breaking Performances

The pool wasn’t just about podium places—it was also the stage for some phenomenal individual achievements, with six new ACS records broken:

  • 🏅 Zara G (Aitken College) – Year 9 Girls 50m Freestyle – 28.12
  • 🏅 St Leonard’s College – Year 11 Boys 200m Freestyle Relay
    Max M, Benjamin N, Jack G, Harry S – 1:48.34
  • 🏅 Andrew W (St Michael’s Grammar) – Year 7 Boys 50m Breaststroke – 35.35
  • 🏅 Andrew W (St Michael’s Grammar) – Year 7 Boys 50m Butterfly – 30.05
  • 🏅 Owen K (Westbourne Grammar) – Year 11 Boys 50m Freestyle – 26.41
  • 🏅 Owen K (Westbourne Grammar) – Year 11 Boys 50m Butterfly – 25.44
