| Here we are, leaving for Christchurch on a wonderful Wellington sunny day. Just as well, who would want a bumpy ride on a "big" plain like this. As the matter of fact, inside it looked more like a bus... |
| Same day, in the afternoon, we had World Champs opening ceremony in the city center. Charming "flower - grils" had a fern leaf for everyone - symbol of New Zealand. Lots of people, speaches and a few Maori performances. Back to hotel for the dinner and to prepare for the days ahead. |
| Majestic Club with the banner. From the top: Treena, Wayne, Greg DP, Mel, Matt, Greg T, Dianne, Martin, Julien, Rob, Ivana, Moira and Jeff the coach. |
| Competition has started on Sunday, 24th March: 800 m freestyle. Wayne and Kath: just sitting at the pool side can be tiering. |

| My 100 m backstroke start (if in doubt, I am the one on the right :-). Now, Jeff, doesn't that look good? |
| Greg DP's legendary 400 IM swim. Buterfly for a start and he is pacing himself... |
