SCWC Long Course Champs
Awesome job from the ten swimmers representing the club at the 2026 Canterbury West Coast Long Course Championships held at Parakiore over the weekend. 🎉🙌 For the majority of our team, this was the first long course meet they had raced at so we had plenty of learning opportunities in the "long pool". The team did a fantastic job of stepping up and already looking forward to our next long course meet. Congratulations to Ben who won the Gold medal in the 13-14 Years 400m Free

QEII Team on Tour on the West Coast
The QEII Team had an exciting and successful away trip to the Hokitika Best Time Meet held in Greymouth over the weekend with some great swimming and fun times!
