The Newington Swimming Team had a very successful season, winning two of the four GPS trophies on offer – the Junior Premiership and the GPS Relay Competition, winning all of the six events contested, something which is rarely achieved.

The Junior team was dominant from the outset, winning its division by more than 170 points. Outstanding contributions came from Callum Lowe-Griffiths (9/PR), Jason Hartill (8/MO) and Jack Rudkins (7/MA).

The Intermediate team recovered from a slow start to finish a creditable third, while our Seniors just failed to make it three successive Premierships, going down by 23 points to the strong Riverview team.

Again, Te Haumi Maxwell (12/PR) was a dominant force in his age group. Newington clearly won the overall point score for the season.

An unprecedented twenty boys were selected to represent GPS at the CIS Carnival with Newington swimmers setting 13 GPS records during the season.
