Kiwi Olympians Train Future Swim Stars
 
Thirty Kiwi children gathered over the weekend for the first ever Jetstar Super Swim Squad camp hosted by Olympic swimmers Lauren Boyle, Danyon Loader and champion triathlete Rick Wells.
 
The swim clinic at Auckland’s Tepid Bath’s gave children aged 8 – 10 years, who placed fastest at the State OceanKids Series, the opportunity to hone their swim skills with training and motivational sessions presented by world class athletes.
 
Jetstar Super Swim Squad mentor, New Zealand Swimmer of the Year, Lauren Boyle, was impressed by the swimming ability of the children.
 
“It’s awesome to see grassroots swimming getting support from a well-known organisation like Jetstar. The enthusiasm from kids and parents alike at the camp was fantastic.”
 
David Hall, CEO Jetstar Australia and New Zealand, said the Jetstar Super Swim Squad was formed to support and celebrate New Zealand’s next generation of swim stars.
 
“We are delighted to play a part in the development of New Zealand’s future swim stars – and as a water loving nation, it wasn’t surprising at all to see the immense potential these children are showing.”
 
Jetstar is committed to connecting families and has partnered with the State OceanKids Series to support over 15 New Zealand families with a weekend away in Auckland:
 
“Every child deserves the chance to go on a holiday with his or her family. We are proud to have brought together over 15 families from across New Zealand for the Jetstar Super Swim Squad camp, to enjoy a weekend away whilst providing an invaluable experience to some of New Zealand’s future swim stars,” said Hall.
 
State NZ Ocean Swim Series Event Director, Scott Rice says; ‘The Jetstar Super Swim Squad has been an exciting addition to the State OceanKids Series offering an incredible opportunity for young swimmers.  It’s very pleasing to see Jetstar supporting the development of young open water swimmers in New Zealand.’
