Awesome to see so many of our Canterbury Swim School and Waitaha Swim Club swimmers taking part in our Gala Day today!
Some great racing and efforts by everyone!

It was very close for the top team position which was taken out by the Bulls with 439.5 points, followed closely by the Tigers on 436, Cobras on 426.50, Dragons on 351, and Falcons on 318.

Thank you to all swimmers taking part, our staff, the Waitaha Club, and all the volunteers and parents who helped out and made it such a fantastic day. 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️👍🏼👏👏

Today the Aiden Son pace clock was unveiled at our pool!
Aiden donated part of the prize money he won at SCWC Championships when he broke lots of regional records to the Waitaha Swim Club, so our clever coach Matthew bought the equipment and made the clock!

Thank you Aiden for your generous contribution which is really appreciated and a fantastic asset to our pool, and Matthew for your resourcefulness in making it!
