Selections for race divisions were based on previous time trial results, current swimming levels and teacher discretion. The top 8 students in each year level will swim in DIV A, the next 8 in DIV B, etc. The top 4 students in Div A and the top 4 students in Div B in every event, will be placed into a final to be swum at the completion of heats. The results of this final will be used to determine individual championships and PSSA selection.

Places may be left available for students that require special consideration, e.g. Time Trial Error, Sickness etc. HOWEVER, any students receiving this wildcard must prove themselves at Training and at the Selection Time Trials. Further students may be selected, if needed, based on consistent results at the carnival, (for example, coming 4th in All Division A races) The Division that they will swim at the Interschool Carnival will be decided by a Time Trials later in the term, closer to the actual Carnival.
