It can also be a stepping stone towards greater goals such as the District, Western or State Carnivals.The races cover all swimming strokes - freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and butterlfy, as well as the combination of strokes in the medley events.
There are also a number of distances that can appeal to a wider variety of swimmers.
The Swimming Carnival is held in the first semester of the school year and is held at the Dubbo Aquatic Centre.

The students attend workshops that demonstrate different activities used in these cultures, such as traditional face and body painting. Community leaders are encouraged to come and talk at NATSI day and parents and community members are encouraged to attend.
NATSI Day celebrations are held at the beginning of September every year.
