Help me get to NZ National DIV II Swim Championships

I have been a competitive swimmer since 2010 and train 16 hours a week. I have nearly 100% attendance as swimming is the #1 thing I love to do. One day I hope to represent my country in the Olympics.

This year is going to be a big year for me, as all the hard work I have put into my training has enabled me to qualify for the New Zealand DIV ll Swimming Nationals. This year the swim meet is in Dunedin in March. I am quite excited because I live in Auckland and I have never been to the South Island before.

Unfortunately it is going to be quite expensive and I need your help.

The event is over 4 days and I need to be accompanied by one of my parents as I am 13 years old. My parents are helping out as much as they can, but more is needed to cover the airline tickets, hotel, food and event fees.

It would be an amazing experience for me as my times are quite fast, so I could have a shot at coming away with a medal. I went to the Junior Nationals last year when I was 12 (the maximum age) and it was awesome. This year, I am 13 and no longer a Junior. I am now an Age Group swimmer (13 and over), so these DIV II Nationals are going to be a whole new experience for me.

Please help me achieve this goal of mine to attend this years DIV II Swimming Nationals and enhance my swimming experience. Thank you for viewing my page and any amount of support you can give me is greatly appreciated.
