Congratulations Pauline Mills and Wayne Annan crowned 2025/26 Aquabike Series champions at the final event of the series at Mission Bay. Wayne and Pauline are no strangers to winning championships in their category following many triathlon achievements over the years. 

Congratulations Tatjana Schmidt on becoming the series champion in the Aqua Bike sprint at the final race of the People's Triathlon series in Misson Bay. This is Tatjana's first foray in triathlon and a successful one at that, too.

Huge congratulations to our Para Swimmer of the Year 2025.
Congratulations Tate - well done - a tremendous achievement and well-deserved accolade given your hard work, perseverance and success over the year. Tate is also a member of the Waitākere Masters Swimming Club. 

We celebrate Amy's journey in her PhD research. Amy's Thesis was submitted a few weeks ago, completing a well documented academic journey. 

Amy AKA online as the “Samoan Scientist,” is a Samoan PhD researcher at the University of Auckland whose thesis focuses on how the traditional Samoan diet may help prevent or reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes among Samoan and Pacific communities. Her research combines science with Indigenous knowledge, examining traditional foods such as taro, breadfruit, yam, banana, coconut, and fish, alongside the genetic and metabolic health of Samoan women.

Congratulations Amy. She is pictured here with fellow Sat squad member Rachel Enderby at Moana Reserve in Ōrewa.

Stella joined the club in November to complete her first open water ocean swim as part of her preparation for the Taupō 70.3 Half Ironman in March. The race also marked Stella's first go at triathlon. We are proud to celebrate her successful achievement and commitment to the challenge. What's your next goal, Stella?
