Auckland champs qualifiers  Click here

Wellington champs- Our club and Capital are the strongest in the Wellington Region, we have never beaten Capital in the overall points but this year we will be trying hard to get close if not beat them. The coaching staff are working hard and to make this happen and our goal is to get 100 swimmers to this meet. We currently have more than 100 qualified so we hope everyone will give it a go, even if you have only qualified in one or two events .It will be a great experience, the Wellington Winter champs and the summer champs are the main meets of the year, a great opportunity for all swimmers new and old to set some goals.Wellington champs qualifiers  Click here

Raumati swim meet

SwimZone Racing 1550 points ,Capital 1120, Karori 788 ,This was a great team effort with some outstanding swims To all the new swimmers my apology for how long this meet went on, all meets should be over by about eight thirty but sometimes meets are popular and have too many events. A Tip to avoid this problem is to enter the races in the first half of the program and not to enter the last events.

Club League

Fantastic effort to the three teams that took part in the club league .The teams placing 4th,5th and 6th .Thanks to Fiona and Eric Pampalone and Lynette Aitchison for managing the teams they did an outstanding job in creating great team spirit ,check out some pictures on the gallery.
