Ice Swimming
Congratulations to Emma Iceton (Year 12 at New Plymouth Girls High School) on her outstanding performance at the NZ Ice Swimming Championships in Alexandra, Central Otago, racing in water temperatures between 2 - 5 degrees C .
This was Emma's first time competing in ice swimming and she had an amazing time, winning all her four races in her age group.
Emma also set two age group world records in the 50 and 200 breaststroke (yet to be ratified by the International Ice Swimming Association).
As a result, Emma has been selected in the NZ Frozen Ferns team to represent her country in Romania next January, where approximately 48 countries will race for world championship medals.
Congratulations Emma and good luck!
