Photos from DivII are now published on the photos page

Following requests from swimmers the 'What have I qualified for' tool has been upgraded to:

• include Auckland Juniors, Age Group and Winters qualifying times
• utilise swimmers PB's for the meet qualifying period. As these vary from meet to meet you may find that your PB times vary between meets. Also just after a meet (eg DivII or Opens) you will not have any qualifying times until the meet data has been received and loaded into the website club database. To overcome this you can also choose to ignore the qualifying period and simply compare your PB's to the qualifying times.

Congratulations to Deryn McGregor (club night coach) on winning 3 gold (50 Breast, 100 Breast, 100 Back), 2 silver (200 Breast, 50 Back) and 1 bronze (200 Back) at the NZ Masters Nationals. She was also part of the 4 x 50m Free relay (mixed) which broke the NZ record.
