It has been incredible to watch our athletes compete and succeed in Glasgow over the last week. You all have represented our nation incredibly well on the Commonwealth stage.

The team came away with an impressive 10 medals, every single member of the team made at least one final, records have been toppled, there is a lot to be proud of.

A massive kudos also to Graham Hill, Michael Weston and David Lyles, as well as the wider support network behind these athletes.

We look forward to seeing this momentum build at Pan Pacs.

Winners are grinners 🫶

New Zealand Team Black took out the top honours at the 2026 Tri Series in Karratha, Western Australia, finishing ahead of defending champions Victoria, followed by New Zealand Team White and Western Australia. An awesome team effort from all our New Zealand swimmers! 🇳🇿🥝🖤🤍

The Auckland Swimming Association is incredibly proud to advise that Shirley Mackay was awarded the MNZM (Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit) in the King's Birthday Honours List on 1st June 2026.
Shirley's involvement with swimming began over 40 years ago with the Waitakere Swimming Club (formerly Western Districts).
Since then she has been involved with swimming in a volunteer capacity in many ways, serving on both club and regional boards, most recently as Chair of the Auckland Swimming Association until retiring in August 2025.
She played a large role in ensuring the original West Wave competition pool was built before the 1990 Commonwealth games.
Shirley has led the grassroots development of the sport since 1985 by leading the Waizone Level 3 meets, the foundation stone of swim racing for young swimmers. Without this strong and consistent leadership ensuring quality competition in a safe environment, many of these swimmers would not progress to the level of achievement that some of our top swimmers have reached. The importance of grassroots swimming cannot be ignored as an important stepping stone in the path to the pinnacle.
