>>> Squad Ika Nui
Sun 8th Jun, 2008
Following the introduction and delivery of the Three Regions/AquaKnights concept the Coaches of within Swimming Bay Of Plenty are pleased to announce Squad Ika Nui. This is an exciting new programme available to all swimmers registered with Swimming Bay of Plenty. 
 
The purpose of Squad Ika Nui is to improve the regions depth and results at National Championships for 2009 and beyond and improve our representation on SNZ programmes e.g. SNZ Age Group Development Programme.   

This concept is an initiative of our Bay Coaches. They believe that this concept will enhance the Three Regions structure and SNZ’s Mining for Gold Plan. They have a shared vision and believe that working together will provide opportunities for our swimmers and create clear pathways for our swimmers.
