Ashburton’s EA Network Centre played host for our Canterbury Intermediate & Middle Schools’ Swimming event in Week 9 of Term 1. With 229 individuals from 12 schools participating it was a day packed with action in the pool!

It was awesome to see so many schools and individuals making the trip down to Ashburton to participate in the event! Numbers continue to grow year on year which we hope to keep seeing in the future not only in swimming but all sporting codes.

We look forward to reviewing and improving the event to engage more individuals, and provide a quality experience.

Primary Sports Canterbury Sport Director Michael Wilson was impressed by the quality of the venue.

“It was a great opportunity to host an event in the Mid Canterbury region, the venue was impressive in its ability to host the event.”

Thank you to the staff at EA Networks Centre and the Ashburton Swim Club for all their support over the day, their knowledge is always extremely helpful and makes the day run smoothly.

We also wouldn’t be able to run the day without the amazing support of the schools and volunteers who help out with manual timing and many other tasks.
