The entries and program for the 2021 Battle on the Bay have been finalised, with a record number of 363 swimmers this year from Ashfield, Drummoyne, Enfield, Leichhardt and Marrickville Swimming Clubs!
It’s fantastic to see so many clubs and swimmers in the twelfth year of the carnival, which was started by Drummoyne Swimming Club back in 2010.
Unfortunately, as a result of the large number of entries this year, the organisers have had to limit the number of events to fit everything into the available pool time. It was decided to keep the relays at the end of the carnival, as these are always the highlight, and to cancel the breaststroke events.
Accordingly, the program will be reduced to the following events:
- Freestyle (50m, 30m, 20m)
- Butterfly (50m, 30m, 20m)
- Backstroke (50m, 30m, 20m)
- 4x50m Relays (age groups)
- 10x50m Relay (open)
