November 2020 Freestyler Newsletter

It's been a successful few months for swimming in New Zealand with two national events and an incredible amount of records broken, including 9 World Para Short Course Records, 18 NZ Short Course Records, 22 Short Course Age Group Records and 21 NZ Para Short Course Records (See below for a full list of records). After an undoubtful start to the year, it was great to see swimmers from across the country get back into the pool, not only racing but catching up with one another.
