Bay of Islands swimming club
Spring carnival
Our Annual Carnival is the highlight of the year – a day full of fun, food, games, and community spirit, all in support of our biggest fundraising effort. This event not only brings families and neighbors together, but also provides the vital funds that help us continue our programs and initiatives throughout the year.
Spring Carnival 2025 wrap up
What an incredible day we had at our Spring Swimming Carnival! The cheering, and sportsmanship made it a fantastic event for swimmers, families, and supporters alike.
A huge thank you goes to our amazing volunteers – from timekeepers and marshals to set-up crews and BBQ helpers. Your energy, smiles, and dedication made the carnival run seamlessly. We truly couldn’t have done it without you.
We’d also like to give a very special shout-out to our wonderful sponsors:
Four Square Russell
Haigh Workman
Reset Fitness
Barfoot & Thompson
Kerikeri Gelato Company
Their generosity made this event possible, and we encourage everyone in our community to show their support in return – shop with them, use their services, and let them know you appreciate their backing of local swimming.
Finally, a big congratulations to all our swimmers – from first-timers to seasoned competitors – for your efforts in the pool and the way you supported each other throughout the day. You made us proud!
Here’s to an even bigger splash at our next event!
If you want to get involved in our next carnival please come and see your friendly committee. Lets make next years even bigger and better
Uniform
Our club uniform helps us look smart, feel united, and stand out with pride at events and carnivals. Members are encouraged to wear the red polo shirt with the Bay of Islands Swimming Club logo and the blue hoodie with logo when representing the club. At swim meets and carnivals, swimmers must also wear the official club swim cap, which ensures easy identification in the pool and shows our team spirit. Wearing the uniform not only strengthens our identity as a club but also supports a strong, professional image at all competitions.
Competing in Swimming Events
Our swimmers have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of competitions – from local club meets in Auckland and Northland, through to regional and national championships under Swimming New Zealand. These events are a fantastic way to build racing skills, enjoy the excitement of competition, and be part of the wider swimming community.
Whether you’re just starting out or aiming for high performance, there are pathways for every swimmer to challenge themselves, make friends, and achieve their goals in the pool. To find out more, or to enter upcoming meets, visit the links provided — you’ll find full event calendars under each link.
Upcoming carnivals and swim meets
Below you’ll find links and posters for upcoming carnivals and swim meets that Bay of Islands Swim Club members are eligible to compete in. Most events can be entered easily via the Fastlane app. We strongly encourage all squad members to take part in these carnivals and meets—they’re a great opportunity to race, gain experience, and have fun representing the club. If you need any assistance with using Fastlane or entering an event, please contact Coach Meydi, who will be happy to help.
