There are some top age-group swimmers amongst the athletes this year. North Shore’s Cameron Gray and Taiko Taiko Torpe-Ormsby from Wharenui Swim Club, both 18 years old, are always great competition to watch! Taiko most recently broke a record in the Men’s 50m Freestyle, which was standing for over 13 years.
17-year-old Laura Littlejohn from St Paul’s Swim Club is swimming in several events and distances in freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and individual medley. Also 17, Capital’s Sam Brown is the top seed in the Men’s 400 IM. The record for this event is held by Olympian Dean Kent from 2003 when he swam 4:06.66 at the FINA World Cup in Berlin. Dean is actually swimming this year, in the 50m Breaststroke. Brother and also Olympian, Steve Kent is also competing in the 100m and 200m Freestyle events.
