Fundraising to attend AIMS games 2025 as a swimmer!
Auckland
Robyn is a year 8 student, who is fundraising to swim for her school (Birkdale Intermediate) at AIMS Games in Tauranga. We have calculated that from her school to the Baywave TECT Aquatic & Leisure Centre, where the swimming is held, in Tauranga, it is 219km. That is 219,000 metres, and Robyn has pledged to swim that distance between now and the start of AIMS Games on 30 August. She has 23 weeks, so needs to swim just over 9,500 meters a week! She would love everyone’s help & encouragement to fulfil this pledge & raise the funds she needs to get her there! Thanks
I am Robyn’s mum.
The money will go towards registration fees, and accommodation and travel for the event.
She made it! 1 September 2025
Robyn (& I) arrived in Tauranga on Friday night. So far she has swum 7 (out of 12) races - with yesterday (Sundays) 200 backstroke being the highlight so far! In her 200 back she took 18secs off her time and placed 9th overall in NZ for her age group (she was seeded 27th!), and for which she gets a top ten finalist ribbon! . She has had another 5 pbs and another 3 top 20 placing! Five more races to go! Thanks for everyone’s support!
