ZAC REID to the 2016 Junior Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, Hawaii & 2016 World Surf Lifesaving Championships, Netherlands

  • Home Again!

      18 September 2016

    Hi all - so I'm back home after an amazing experience.

    2016 Junior Pan Pacific Championships, Hawaii

    7th - 1500m freestyle (A final)

    13th – 800m freestyle (B final)

    15th – 400m freestyle (B final)

    I achieved two Personal Bests in his 400 and 800 freestyle races.

    From Hawaii, Lewis and I managed to navigate ourselves safely to London via LA. We were given a whirlwind four hour tour of central London courtesy of Lewis's uncle. The next morning we boarded the Eurostar to the Netherlands to meet up with our Junior Black Fins teammates.

    2016 World Surf Life Saving Championships, The Netherlands

    Gold medals – Tube Rescue, Line Throw

    Silver medals - Beach Relay, Taplin Relay

    Bronze medal – 200m with Obstacles

    Then it was a 40 hour trip home via Singapore! Awesome trip around the world and rapt to bring home some medals and to have been part of two awesome teams. The NZSLS Junior Black Fins were second overall!

    Thank you so much for your support!

    Forever grateful!

    Zac

    I just want to say a huge thank you to all that have donated - I am very humbled by the amount I have received on this Givealittle page and from other donations, funding and fundraising. I set off tomorrow 19/8/2016 to Auckland for a staging camp with Swimming NZ prior to flying to Hawaii on Sunday morning. After Hawaii I (along with Lewis, who also made both teams) begin our journey to the Netherlands to meet up with our Junior Black Fins team. I am incredibly proud and excited to be representing my country and once again thank you so much for being part of my journey. Zac
