The AshColl swimmers have just returned from NZSS Swimming Champs in Wellington featuring 689 of New Zealand's top secondary school swimmers. This was the first national meet for Alex Chapman and Kelly-Anne Bentley and both performed well on the big stage with Alex swimming personal best times in all but one of his races. Matt Clough returned to competitive swimming for the first time in 3 years and showed that he can still kick it with the best, swimming 5 out of 6 personal best times and placing 13th in both the 50m and 100m backstroke.
