SELWYN SWIM Club has<br />
had 11 athletes competing<br />
in national championship<br />
events throughout the<br />
country this season.<br />
Six of them returned<br />
victorious from the 2<strong>02</strong>1<br />
New Zealand Division 2<br />
Swimming Championships,<br />
in Dunedin last month.<br />
Holly Smith, 15, won<br />
three medals – gold in the<br />
14 years 400m freestyle<br />
and silver in the 1500m<br />
and 800m freestyle.<br />
Ben Smith, 16, won<br />
bronze in the 16-18 years<br />
400m individual medley.<br />
Charlie Overend, 12, Charlise<br />
Miller, 16, and Morgan<br />
Manners, 14, improved<br />
their personal best times in<br />
the morning heats, while<br />
Emma Ogilvie, 13, made<br />
her first two national meet<br />
finals with great swims and<br />
new personal best times.<br />
The team also achieved a<br />
further 11 top-eight placings<br />
through the five-day<br />
competition.<br />
Marketing and communications<br />
officer Rachel<br />
Close said the championships<br />
had been a great<br />
opportunity for the<br />
swimmers to get out and<br />
compete with the best<br />
swimmers in the country.<br />
GET CONNECTED WITH<br />
Scorch Broadband<br />
“And get some amazing<br />
results after such a rocky<br />
year last year,” she said.<br />
Not being able to compete<br />
due to Covid restrictions<br />
last year had made<br />
the club’s swimmers come<br />
back with more determination<br />
and drive than ever.<br />
The championships followed<br />
two events in April.<br />
Para athletes Ella Benn,<br />
18, and Ieuan Edwards, 18,<br />
represented <strong>Selwyn</strong> at the<br />
New Zealand Swimming<br />
Championships in Auckland,<br />
which also doubled<br />
as the Olympic and Paralympic<br />
qualifying event.<br />
They won seven medals<br />
between them, including a<br />
gold for Ieuan in the men’s<br />
multi-class 50m breaststroke,<br />
silver in the 50m butterfly,<br />
and bronze in the 50m<br />
freestyle, 100m butterfly and<br />
200m individual medley.<br />
Ella won gold in the<br />
women’s multi-class 400m<br />
freestyle, and silver in the<br />
200m individual medley.<br />
Ella also broke her own<br />
national record for the S9<br />
400m freestyle in a time of<br />
5:09.76, down from 5:14.09.<br />
Three swimmers, Lachlan<br />
Anderson, 15, Brooke<br />
Bennett, 14, and Chloe<br />
Newbigging, 16, represented<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> at the New Zealand<br />
Age Group Championships<br />
in Wellington.<br />
Brooke won three silver<br />
medals in the 14 years age<br />
group for 1500m, 800m<br />
and 400m freestyle, and<br />
one bronze in the 200m<br />
freestyle. Chloe finished<br />
with two seventh place finishes<br />
in the 16 years 100m<br />
and 200m backstroke.<br />
Lachlan performed well<br />
and came away with some<br />
new personal best times.<br />
“Swimming may look<br />
like an individual sport,<br />
but at the competitive level<br />
a huge aspect is all about<br />
team support,” Close said.<br />
“Our swimmers train<br />
together five times a week<br />
minimum, so they really<br />
become a tight-knit<br />
group. No matter where<br />
the swimmers were racing<br />
they all had the support of<br />
the swimmers who were<br />
with them, or watching on<br />
the live stream back home.<br />
“The team are now<br />
back into an increased<br />
training workload at<br />
home in preparation for<br />
the New Zealand Short<br />
Course Championships in<br />
Auckland this August.”<br />
