2025 NEW ZEALAND SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Wednesday, May 21st – Sunday, May 25th Sir Owen G. Glenn National Aquatic Centre Meet Central Swimming NZL World Championships Selection Criteria Day 1 Recap/Day 2 Recap/Day 3 Recap Entries/Results LivestreamDay four of the 2025 New Zealand Swimming Championships was on the subdued side, with just the women’s 200m freestyle producing World Championships-worthy results.
Already the women’s 400m and 800m freestyle victor here, 21-year-old Olympian Erika Fairweather completed her trifecta by touching in a solid 1:56.56 for 2 free gold.
Splitting 27.62/29.46/30.00/29.48, North Shore’s Fairweather led a trio of sub-2:00 swimmers. Joining her was 19-year-old Milana Tapper who secured silver in 1:57.95 followed by Nedtune Swim Club 25-year-old Caitlin Deans who bagged bronze in 1:59.47.
As for Fairweather, her outing tonight represents the 14th-swiftest of her young career, one which boasts a lifetime best and national record of 1:55.44 from the 2023 New Zealand Championships.
Tapper’s effort tonight is a monster career-quickest result for the St. Peter’s Swim Club athlete, ripping apart her previous PB of 2:01.87 logged at last year’s Australian Championships. Not only did she clear the 2:00 barrier for the first time, but Tapper now checks in as New Zealand’s 3rd-best performer in history.
Both Fairweather and Tapper cleared the World Aquatics ‘A’ standard of 1:58.23 needed for Singapore, with Fairweather ranking 12th in the world this season.
