KIwi Swimming is NZs highest read and engaged with swimming page, updating and commenting on all swimming events when others do not .

Nationwide

Kiwi Swimming has been the only outlet that regularly updates and comments on pinnacle swimming events as results happen. A facebook page, it has the support of our top swimmers and coaches but, like other media, cannot grow and continue without financial support. More than 100,000 read the page during the week of the world swimming champs in Doha 2024, with more than a million viewers doing so in the past three months. .

The Paris Olympics in July was NZ's best chance of an Olympic swimming medal in more than 28 years. Newshub has closed and many Stuff sports reporters were made redundant recently and so fewer now report on swimming.

If you want to see the sport of swimming covered and the page expanded, please donate.

Latest update

an update on Kiwi Swimming   13 February 2025

Kiwi Swimming is growing, thanks to you, which is good to see. Just under two years ago there were 3000 people following the page. Six months ago that increased to 5000 followers.

It is now at 5700 followers with more than 36,000 people so far reading just the post on Sam Muir-James fantastic achievement posted about 24 hours ago, which you read about first on Kiwi Swimming ( if you didnt, go read it now) . Would like to write more, I'm tired, and I`m getting older so its a bit harder keeping things going, but the sport is worth it. If you can donate to assist please do. Also if you want to write a post on the page please do get in touch
