Gary Hurring Camps

Gary Hurring Camps

January 10-14th January 2022

Our swimming year kicked off with summer swimming sessions for Emma and Darryl’s groups and then the much anticipated Gary Hurring Camps over the week 10th-14th January.

These were well attended and it was fantastic to be able to offer a Junior Camp this year as well.  We were also able to invite  swimmers from other clubs to benefit from the instruction of an Olympic coach. A really rewarding, and exhausting, experience for all attendees!

We hope to be able to bring Gary back throughout the year to work with our swimmers, especially before major swim meets. 

For those that don’t know, Gary Hurring is a former New Zealand swimmer, who won gold at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in the men’s 200m backstroke. He gained silver in the same event at the 1978 World Aquatic Championships. He also represented New Zealand at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.

Gary Hurring was appointed New Zealand swim team coach at the 2012 London Summer Olympics and 2013 World Championships in Barcelona.

Gary Hurring is regarded as one of New Zealand’s leading coaches.

We are very fortunate to be able to host Gary Hurring and know our swimmers get so much out of these camps.
