NAPIER BOYS' HIGH
Four students from Napier Boys' High School ventured to Auckland last weekend to take on a new swimming challenge for the school.
For the past 40 years the Auckland Central Masters Swimming Club has organised and run an annual 4.6km swim from Rangitoto Island to St Heliers Beach. The swimmers go on a ferry to the island and swim back to the mainland. Most swimmers wear wetsuits but some hardy souls still prefer the traditional swimming costumes.
Hadlee Dyer, Cameron Madams, Jade Wills and Trent Kamper all successfully completed the race in a field of 428 swimmers. Dyer was the third swimmer overall in a time of 56m43s and the fastest in the 15 to 19 year old wetsuit category. Kamper was the fastest 14 and under swimmer and 11th overall.
Madams was seventh in the 15 to 19 year old wetsuit category while Wills, who swam without a wetsuit, was sixth in his age category for non wet suit swimmers.
The team were billeted with the Auckland Grammar School Endurance Swimming team who last year successfully completed a relay crossing of the English Channel.
