Year 11 student and 2021 Tania Dalton Foundation Scholarship recipient, Zoe Crawford, has been chosen by Swimming NZ for its U18 ‘Tri Series’ Tour, to be run during the school holidays.
A total of 24 females and 24 males have been selected for the gruelling tour, based on their national performances. The purpose of the Tri Series Tour is to provide multiple opportunities for young athletes to grow and develop their skills and to help them prepare for international success. With Covid-19 preventing overseas travel, Swimming NZ created this opportunity as an intense camp and competition environment to help support the athletes on their swimming journey.
The basic format of the Tri Series Tour is three teams of 18 battling it out over six days. The winning team will be awarded the Ta Tama Trophy at the end of the Tour in Huntly.
The tour will include tough conditions with challenging training sets, travel and compromised racing conditions, to grow resilient and adaptable coaches and athletes.
Now, that’s one way to spend the first week of your school holidays! We know you’ll nail it Zoe.
