Counties Age Group Champs and NZ Junior Festival wrap up!!!
Counties Age Group Long Course Championship 2021
.
Well done to everyone, Coaches, Swimmers and Parents who stuck it out for a long weekend at Papatoetoe – Special thanks to those who stayed for the marathon Saturday afternoon session that was a saga of technical issues and a visitation of ducks.
.
In a pool that is well known as ‘slow’ and hard to get a pb in, we had an amazing success rate of 43%. 20 swimmers, 115 total swims and of that 115 swims there were 49 PB’s! Add to that only 2 DQ’s. This was made even harder by the distraction of sharing the pool with a family of ducks determined to stick it out.
.
Well done team – you have done yourselves proud.
.
Congratulations to Lara for setting the Club 10 year old Girls 200m Fly Long Course Record
We also found ourselves in the bling for the weekend! Congratulations to all our medal winners.
