What's your child's school swimming carnival like?
DD's was today, and I didn't send her to it. I wasn't prepared to sit up there while feeling like I was going to chuck at any moment, plus I have this thing about lots of kids and water. I asked DD if she wanted to go and she didn't.

They split the school up, so it was years 1-3 today and 4-7 last week.

They were holding it of a night time due to the heat, but this year changed it to 9am-11am.

We had to drop the kids at the pool in the morning and pay the $2 entry fee for them to get in for their own swimming carnival. If parents wanted to stay and watch we had to pay $2.60.
They also hired an "inflatable", which every child had to pay $1 towards for the hire.

Does this seem normal or a little over the top?
We never had to pay for our school swimming carnivals and we spent the whole day up there!

So what happens at your school?
