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 Freestyle and a Silver medal in the 400m Individual Medley, as well as Max who took home the Open Silver in the 50m Breaststroke! 👏⚡️

Big thanks to Swimming Canterbury West Coast for hosting the meet and the Christchurch City Council staff at the meet.
