Aon New Zealand Swimming Championships 2021

Eight Northland swimmers are off to test themselves against the country’s best at the 2021 Aon New Zealand Swimming Championships next week.

Running from 5-10 April at the Sir Owen Glenn National Aquatic Centre in Auckland, 306 swimmers from 56 clubs around New Zealand will vie for the title of national champion and a place on the team travelling to Tokyo later this year for the 2021 Olympics. Last year’s national championships (previously knows as NZ Opens) was cancelled due to Covid-19 and the Olympics delayed.

Whangarei’s Cameron Leslie is one of 22 para swimmers competing at the championships. He will swim in four individual events and will look to be part of the New Zealand Para Swimming Team heading to the Olympics. He currently has two World Para Swimming records still standing (50m freestyle S4 and 150m IM S4)
