Help Tegen Swim for NZ at the World Junior Open Water Championships! in Argentina.

Tegen is in her final year at Nelson College for Girls & trains with the Nelson South Swimming Club. Tegen has been training & Competing in the pool, since she was 11 years old. under head coach, Glen Findlay Tegen has dominated long distance swimming in her age group. last November Under Glen & PT Isaac Takarangi, Tegen made the transition from a pool distance specialist to an open water powerhouse & has been instrumental in Tegen's journey to selection for the New Zealand team.

Tegen is supported by her Nelson south team, & five brothers all of whom are proud of her. However, it's not the coach, the team mates or the siblings that pay the fees & costs associated at this level of athleticism. Tegen's hardworking parents, Joanne & Glenn have been instrumental in getting Tegen where she is. Tegen herself has had a job since she was 13 at Sweet as Cafe to help pay her way

Representing New Zealand at a World Championship is the honor of a lifetime, but international sporting campaigns in NZ are largely self-funded. The cost of flights to South America, accommodation, team uniforms, coaching support, & event fees adds up to thousands of dollars. For this hard working family, this financial mountain is too high to climb alone. Joanne & Glenn are doing everything they can, taking on extra shifts wherever possible. With the demands of training & school work Tegen can't possibly take on any more hours

Every single dollar helps. & gets Tegen a little bit closer to Argentina.
