2019 New Zealand Division II Championship

Back in March NSSC sent a group of 8 swimmers to the New Zealand Division 2 meet in Dunedin.

Well done to all the team that went, but special mention to our newest swimmers qualifying & attending a National Meet - Adam Barton, Alex Grenfell & Connor Eden! It was a huge achievement to qualify for this premier NZ meet and our swimmers have done Nelson South and themselves incredibly proud! Nelson South, with only 8 swimmers, finished a very respectable 12th out of 75 clubs from all around New Zealand!!

There were some huge PB's and the following swimmers achieved a 100% PB rate for the meet:

• Rebecca Loach
• Connor Eden
• Maggie Goomes
• Oxford Bayley

To make a final at a National Meet is another massive achievement as only the top 8 from each age group make it through to the finals in the evening, so congratulations to the following swimmers:

• Oxford Bayley
• Maggie Goomes
• Nic Hall
• Rebecca Loach
• Ilaria Old

Finally - the team also managed to bring home some bling! Congratulations to:

• Nic Hall - 3 Golds
• Maggie Goomes - 1 Gold, 1 Silver
• Rebecca Loach - 1 Gold, 2 Bronze
• Oxford Bayley - 1 Silver, 1 Bronze
