Hundreds of swimmers dived into Forster pool today, for the Short Course Qualifying Carnival.

Some as young as seven competed, travelling from Sydney, Newcastle and the North Coast.

The event saw an astonishing 700 plus race entries, and featured a number of national age champions, including Forster’s Jesse King.

“What they’ll be trying to do is qualify for the Country, State and National Short Course Qualifying Championships. They’re all held at Homebush at the Olympic pool so they need qualifying times and this is a proper qualifying event.”
