The end of July saw more than 600 swimmers from across the country converge in Auckland for the annual competition, which ran over six sessions and four days. The atmosphere was electric, and the anticipation of the Paris Olympics added more energy to the meet. Competition was fierce, as a number of New Zealand records were broken during the event. The St Paul's swim team represented the school exceptionally well, making valiant efforts in the water and garnering medals in almost every session. Our top placers were as follows:

• 🥈 Silver in 4x50m Freestyle: Neo Urlich, Stephen Miller, Amelie Austin and Lani Jarrett
