Snorkelling is described as the activity in which a person swims on the surface of the water or dives below the surface using a mask, snorkel and swimming aids such as fins.

Snorkelling includes both snorkel swimming and snorkel diving. In snorkel swimming, the swimmer stays on the surface of the water. In snorkel diving, the diver is neutrally buoyant and able to execute breath-hold diving and swimming below the surface.

Wow what a production the live stream was for this event. 4 cameras, a team of 9 and some serious production software! We thank you for your support while we have trialled this larger format event live stream and hope you have been able to enjoy watching your students/children compete at this wonderful event. Here's some amazing statistics about the NSWCHSSA Athletics live stream:

• 45 hours of video capturing 90% of events
• 24,000 live views, which has now increased to 37,000 views
• 350 peak viewers (at the one time) watching Day 3 Track stream.

Thank you for the positive feedback we've received. We love to read stories of  loved ones being able to view their family members from all over the world. To see a few 'behind the scenes' photos of the live stream set up see our Facebook post. Don’t forget that timestamps have been added so you can more easily find the athletes in their events - see the descriptions in the YouTube videos. We look forward to another great live streamed event with the NSWPSSA Athletics championship in November. 

All Sports Leadership Program grant applications for 2019/2020 have been approved and successful schools will soon be receiving their grant funds. The Leading with Action and Learning to Lead programs promote secondary schools towards identifying student leaders to undertake sport-specific leadership training. The aim is that these student leaders will begin to build the necessary skills and confidence to lead younger students through a range of sports and physical activities.
