Many of our swimmers swum PB's and all the relay teams performed outstandingly, so much so that we won the Paekakariki Shield for the top club in the relays and the Gold Coast Interclub Best Times Trophy for the the club with the most PB's on the night.
Thanks to all our swimmers, our Managers, Tania Donalson and Ondine Souter and all the others who officiated.
