Swimming Wellington are currently working through an adjustment to the regional calendar due to pool availability.

  • Firstly Short Course Championships will be moving to the final week of June (23rd – 25th), prior to Nationals in August and prior to the July school holidays. The event will likely be run at Coastlands Aquatic Centre due to the unavailability of WRAC, finer details are currently being organised and we will share these as soon as they are confirmed.
  • As a consequence of this, SW Juniors will move back to September 23rd – 24th, and will be hosted at WRAC.

Flyers for both events are also being finalised and will be circulated once pools have confirmed the requested times.

Following the AGM late September we have some fresh faces on the board.  We will get full details updated on the website as soon as we can.

You can see the board here:

 

 

Alex won the Open 1500 Fr tonight (along with his age group Gold medal) with a beautifully executed 34 second PB 💪🏊‍♂️🥇
Maia also won Gold in the 17/18 year old 200 IM with a good PB. She backed this up with another PB finishing 5th in the open final.
