New Zealand World Trials Update

The New Zealand World Championship Trials are currently ongoing in Auckland, with Emma Robinson and Phoenix Douglas competing against New Zealands’ best swimmers, to date Emma has placed 1st in the women’s 1500m Freestyle, and Phoenix has placed 3rd in the men’s 800m Freestyle.

TSS Aquatic finished the 2nd half of the World Championship Trials the same way they started. Epitomising the TSS Aquatic mentality of persistence and determination, David Morgan swam a lifetime best time for the first time in 3 years in the men’s 100m butterfly to take joint 1st place. David is one of the most consistent trainers at TSS Aquatic and his desire to improve has been there every day in training, even through the tough personal best drought!
Cameron McEvoy finished 3rd in the men’s 100m Freestyle to secure a spot on the World Championships team in the men’s 4x100m Freestyle relay.
