Our Porirua Hardcore meet was very successful. The committee wishes to thank everyone who helped out on the night and beforehand to get the meet off the ground - without your support this wouldn't have been possible.
It was a long evening but we have had some very positive responses from clubs around the region and from swimmers about the opportunities this meet gives athletes to swim in a large variety of events, at this stage in the l/c season.
Results are attached.
The Wellington Short Course Winter Champs showed some great results for our swimmers. All results are attached.
In the 12 and under Team ranking PSC is 4th out of 14; all age group for all teams PSC is 7th out of 18. And finally working out the average score per swimmer we come out 2nd best overall.
Congratulations to all, there were some terrific swims.
You can be very proud of these results.

At the recently held New Zealand Swim Coaches and Teachers Conference in Christchurch Nevill was elected as the new President of NZSCAT. This is a great honour and we congratulate him with this new position.
Nevill also attended the 2008 Australian Swim Coaches and Teachers Conference held in May. He felt privileged to attend. It offers him a brilliant opportunity to listen to very talented teachers and coaches from around Australia and New Zealand.
Swimmers in the PSC squads will notice the changes that he will be making to the programme over the next six months.
Our club race secretary has made the results of our club champs held on 12 April available.
Over the coming few days Jared (three breast stroke events) and Lana (200 m back stroke) will be swimming at the Absolute Insurance Olympic Trials in Auckland. Nevill is in attendance for the first part of the week.
TVNZ and Sky Sport will show the highlights of the swimming, it should be very interesting for everyone to watch. Further info, including the tv schedule, can be obtained from the Swimming New Zealand website.
Results are attached. Well done Simone, 1 gold in 100 breast stroke and 1 silver in 100 m backstroke event!
