Swimmer Extraordinaire

The Westlake swimming crew had a blast at New Zealand Secondary Schools. We had a lot of great performances throughout the whole crew with a lot of personal bests and a few medals along the way.

The team environment was amazing and we all were supportive of each other when it came down to relays as we had a few younger girls in some of the top teams which is amazing to see. I think my personal highlight of the meet was the 8×50 relay, we all got behind each other to support even though people were in different teams. Overall everyone had a blast and had a great meet.
