World and national records broken at national pool rescue champs

Two new world records and 45 New Zealand records contributed to a hugely successful fourteenth annual pool champs that saw Mount Maunganui crowned top club overall.

The third and final day of the 2016 New Zealand Pool Championships at the Sir Owen G. Glenn National Aquatic Centre at AUT Millennium in Auckland yesterday included the 200m super lifesaver, 4x50m obstacle relay, 100m tube swim with patient and fins, 100m manikin tow with fins and 6x50m mega relay.

On Saturday, Orewa's Sandra Burrow set a new World Record in the 65-69 Masters Women's 100m Obstacle Swim with a time of 1.33.17, beating the old record of 1:39.50. She backed that up on Sunday afternoon with another World Record in the 65-69 Masters Women's 100m Manikin Tow with a time of 1.36.25 (old record- 1.37.88).

In total, 45 new New Zealand records were set across the 200 events; 24 on day one (Friday), 13 on day two and another eight on Sunday.

With events such as manikin carry, line throw and swim with obstacles, the championships tests the athlete's rescue capability and helps competitors of all ages train for surf-based rescues in a more controlled environment.

Nationally, the largest group of entries comes from the Northern Region with 214 athletes entered from six different Surf Life Saving Clubs, followed by the Eastern Region with 197 entries from eight clubs. The Central Region has 137 entries from nine different clubs and Southern Region has 45 from seven clubs. A further 10 athletes took part from New South Wales in Australia.

Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service finished top of the club points table with 162 points across the Under 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 19 and Open age groups to hold on to the Paul Kent Memorial Trophy for the second year in a row. Orewa was second with 111 points followed by Mairangi Bay on 74.

The top Masters Club Trophy, presented to the top club with culmination of points in the Masters age groups, went to Orewa Surf Club with 58 points. Red Beach was second on 45 points followed by Mairangi Bay with 34.

Surf Life Saving New Zealand Sport Manager Mike Lord says this year's pool championship was the biggest yet with a record 603 entries and it was also one of the most successful.

"What a way to kick-off the surf sport season! We pride ourselves on setting the way with pool rescue and the amazing results that came out of the three days of racing proved that. Two world records and over 40 New Zealand records is truly outstanding, he says.

"Congratulations to all of the athletes that raced hard and showed great sportsmanship. And special thanks must go out to the group of officials and volunteers that made this one of the smoothest events with sessions running on, and often ahead of, time," he says.
