Six of them returned victorious from the 2<strong>02</strong>1 New Zealand Division 2 Swimming Championships, in Dunedin last month. Holly Smith, 15, won three medals – gold in the 14 years 400m freestyle and silver in the 1500m and 800m freestyle. Ben Smith, 16, won bronze in the 16-18 years 400m individual medley. Charlie Overend, 12, Charlise Miller, 16, and Morgan Manners, 14, improved their personal best times in the morning heats, while Emma Ogilvie, 13, made her first two national meet finals with great swims and new personal best times. The team also achieved a further 11 top-eight placings through the five-day competition. Marketing and communications officer Rachel Close said the championships had been a great opportunity for the swimmers to get out and compete with the best swimmers in the country. GET CONNECTED WITH Scorch Broadband “And get some amazing results after such a rocky year last year,” she said. Not being able to compete due to Covid restrictions last year had made the club’s swimmers come back with more determination and drive than ever. The championships followed two events in April. Para athletes Ella Benn, 18, and Ieuan Edwards, 18, represented <strong>Selwyn</strong> at the New Zealand Swimming Championships in Auckland, which also doubled as the Olympic and Paralympic qualifying event. They won seven medals between them, including a gold for Ieuan in the men’s multi-class 50m breaststroke, silver in the 50m butterfly, and bronze in the 50m freestyle, 100m butterfly and 200m individual medley. Ella won gold in the women’s multi-class 400m freestyle, and silver in the 200m individual medley. Ella also broke her own national record for the S9 400m freestyle in a time of 5:09.76, down from 5:14.09. Three swimmers, Lachlan Anderson, 15, Brooke Bennett, 14, and Chloe Newbigging, 16, represented <strong>Selwyn</strong> at the New Zealand Age Group Championships in Wellington. Brooke won three silver medals in the 14 years age group for 1500m, 800m and 400m freestyle, and one bronze in the 200m freestyle. Chloe finished with two seventh place finishes in the 16 years 100m and 200m backstroke. Lachlan performed well and came away with some new personal best times. “Swimming may look like an individual sport, but at the competitive level a huge aspect is all about team support,” Close said. “Our swimmers train together five times a week minimum, so they really become a tight-knit group. No matter where the swimmers were racing they all had the support of the swimmers who were with them, or watching on the live stream back home. “The team are now back into an increased training workload at home in preparation for the New Zealand Short Course Championships in Auckland this August.” • More sport, pages 22, 25 & 26 NUMBER ONE SUPPLIER TO THE NZ JET BOATING COMMUNITY FOR OVER 50 YEARS SERVICING facebook.com/FourSquareNZ • Part Boats & Hulls • Turn Key Packages • New Jet Units • Custom Fabrication • Expert Advice • Spare Parts Retailer • Jet Unit Refurbishment • Engine Tune-Ups • Insurance Repairs • Impellor Reconditioning Specials available South Island only from Monday 31st May until Sunday 13th <strong>June</strong> 2<strong>02</strong>1 or while stocks last.
