Join us!

We are so grateful to the New Zealand High Commission for assisting with Phase 1 of our Pa Enua outreach. We look forward to the delivery of swimming and water safety programmes in Mangaia, Atiu and Mauke in 2025!

What a fantastic end to the CI Games 2024! The "Boiler Swim" today was fast and furious. We want to mention a special thank you to all our U14 tamariki for joining in this year. It was the biggest category and the future of swimming for the Cook Islands looks bright! Well done!

We had some excellent results from our 1.5k swim in Muri today. Congrats to all the swimmers who came out and performed well. Impressive swims! Don't forget our final events tomorrow; spearfishing will be on at 5am at Avarua and we will begin registering athletes at 12pm for our Boiler swim at Traders. See you there!

Who is feeling ready for our 1.5k in Muri Monday morning?! We will be registering athletes down near Captain Tama's at 11am. See you there!

What an excellent event yesterday! Here are the results for our sprint session at Vaiana's. Congratulations to all the medalists and well done to all the participants!

CIAF would like to wish this young bunch of talented swimmers the best luck at their competition in the Gold Coast. Swim hard and enjoy the experience. We know your dedication will pay off and this experience will be an eye opener into the world of swimming. Represent the Cook Islands with pride!

Kia Orana all, here is Our final update from Doha...




Day 6 we saw Mia Laban swim the Womens 50m Butterfly in a new PB of 30.08 beating her seed time by 0.17 sec. Such a Great achievement by this young swimmer with so much promise.

Day 7 had Lani Connolly in the Womens 50m Breaststroke where she too achieved a PB of 32.03 beating her seed time of 32.61 by 0.58sec and setting a new Cook Islands record.

And that brings us to the end of our race events here at Doha however, training continues daily as the swimmers prepare for their next events in about a month or so.
Overall, they have had very good swims, multiple PB'S and records, and a wealth of experience across the board. We are ever so thankful and grateful for all your support throughout this week and we as Swim Team Cook Islands under CIAF are very proud to represent our beautiful Nation and home, Cook Islands.

On another note, after checking and finalizing our times against CI records and World Aquatics data, we have to make a correction that the CI Womens 100m Butterfly was not broken at this World Championships and still stands at 1:05.17. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or misinformation for our human error. Meitaki.
