Beyond the competition itself, the carnival was designed as a full-day celebration — featuring game booths, giveaways, retail stalls, and food stalls that brought joy to swimmers and families alike. Every swimmer received a Certificate of Participation, with medals presented to the top three finishers in each event category. It was a day that captured everything DSA does best: nurturing talent at every level, bringing families together, and celebrating fifteen wonderful years of swimming with heart.
