What a weekend for Waitaha!
Our Waitaha swimmers had a fantastic North Canterbury Ribbon Meet, with strong swimming, 36 PBs, a relay win and plenty of team spirit!
π A special congratulations to Aiden, our biggest improver of the weekend, taking an incredible 33.00 seconds off his 400m Freestyle PB! Well done, Aiden!
π₯ Congratulations to our Mixed 10 & Under 4x50m Medley Relay team β Dudley, Alice, Aiden & Yaya β for taking 1st place! Fantastic swimming! π
It was also wonderful to have our Have a Go swimmers join us. It was lovely to see our future Waitaha swimmers enjoying their first racing experience and being part of the team! π
A huge thank you to our coaches Huia and Shona, and to all our parent helpers and team managers for their support and encouragement.
A special thank you to Jenny for looking after our Have a Go swimmers β we really appreciate your help! π

π Celebrating Our PBs! π
As this was a PB Ribbon Meet, weβd like to celebrate all our swimmers who achieved new PBs!
As swimmers, we know how challenging it can be to improve your PB, even by just 0.01 seconds. Every improvement is a valuable achievement β a result of hard work, dedication and the determination to push yourself and win the battle against yourself.
π Congratulations to all our PB swimmers! π
