Swimmers on our team won the women’s 50 and 100 breaststroke and the 200 backstroke. Millennium swimmers don’t sit or mix with their old team mates. West Auckland’s swimmers benefited from being at your meet. If you fall into a sleeping state that others would equate to being a plank of wood, you`re good; if you`re a super light sleeper and your community is a loud one, you`ll regret this decision the first day you show up to work and people think the zombie apocalypse has begun. And before any Layton or Renford act-alikes mutter on about that being in the old days and times have moved on - remember this. Of course you won’t find Layton or Renford at places like Greerton. You may like them or not, however, similar swimming pool rules exist all over the world. Thank you for a fun and beneficial weekend of swimming. They stand for the principles and ideas that are important; honest competition, heats and finals, efficient and fun.



































Just as influential, the experience of wealthy Americans who enjoyed "Grand Tours" in England, France, and Italy was translated into romantic decorating ideas back home. When you don’t give a damn about the rules, why should the Constitution hold you back? If it’s okay with you guys, we’d like to come back next year. It’s more than they can manage to tackle the drive across the Harbour Bridge to swim in the Auckland Centre’s monthly Level One swim meets. One thousand two hundred opossums died in order that I could become a bike owner. They have won 24 National Open Championships, broken two Master’s World Records and broken 68 Open or Age Group National Records. Every house should be a warm haven, a place where we throw off the cares of the world and relax with family and friends. Alison was a New Zealand and UK National Champion and is the current holder of New Zealand’s oldest Women’s National Record; 1000 meters in 2m 38.54s set on a lovely night in Berlin on the 17 August 1979. That time would still have ranked Alison fourth in the world in 2012. Sue was a UK National Junior 3000 meter champion.



































They are busy in the Millennium Institute’s coffee shop, texting Peter Miskimmin, asking him to approve the new style of uniform for Swimming New Zealand’s pampered "elite". A bit more time in Greerton and a whole heap less Millennium coffee would do them and New Zealand swimming a heap of good. A good pool like this one could maybe do with a modern set of starting blocks, but the ones they have are good versions of the old style. The schools in Division I tend to the largest ones and with the largest athletic budgets, often because of lucrative media contracts. But, the Auckland Winter Championships have been good to us in the past. If Greeton really is a throwback to a past era - how come the modern Millennium way can’t produce athletes who can swim or run faster than those nurtured in meets like Greerton. The meet is really well run - no marshalling, now that is progress, good officials who patiently explain where to collect the West Auckland programs, what time the café opens and the skin’s qualifying rules.



































They would be well warned to stay loyal to Greerton - the place that taught them their trade and nurtured their talent. We also did well in the woman’s 200 breaststroke (2nd), 100 backstroke (2nd), 50 freestyle (3rd, 4th and 5th) and 100 freestyle (3rd). All in all, if you’ve never been, the Greerton Meet is well worth the trip. But, and Donna Bouzaid take note, I certainly hope tomorrow’s best swimmers are not in some 2013 Greerton shop window waiting for your attention. Millennium swimmers get New Zealand national look-alike uniforms. And Millennium Institute, as a team, doesn’t swim at the Greerton Swimming Club’s Winter Championship. 4) Do not run alongside the swimming pool, but walk instead. New Zealand swimming needs Greerton. I see in today’s New Zealand Herald that the Sprint Coach of New Zealand cycling, Justin Grace, has resigned. I can categorically assure you that no such approach or offer had been made to my daughter by either Mr. Rushton or my daughters coach. Your swim meet represents all that this coach enjoys. This celestial orb represents the intuitive, emotional, and subconscious realms, inviting us to look beyond the surface and tap into the hidden aspects of our psyche.
