This month sees another milestone reached - yes in the last year, we have collectively swum over 10,000km's . That's a huge effort by 48 swimmers. On average that's 221Km's each. Just shows you what can be acheived by setting your goals and pulling together as a team. Well done to all involved. New swimmers continue to join in each month, and it's not too late to add your distances in. Just go to the entry form, read the details, and submit your distances. If you haven't already, isn't it about time you took up the challenge! This months summary follows:

New Zealand Swimmers, Barry Young and Richard Lockhart, left the Australians in their wake, at the recently held National Aussie Masters Swimming Championships. Barry Young secured 4 world records in the 70 to 74 age group (to be ratified). To help put this effort in perspective, two of the records were at least 5 years old, with the 400 IM record being thrashed by 35 seconds. Barry also picked up an additional NZ record in the 50m fly for his efforts.

Richard Lockhart also improved his national record, becoming the first man in NZ, in the 45 to 49 yrs age group, to swim under 1:10 for the 100m Breast stroke.

Congratulations to you both. Full details and times follow.
