Congratulations to everyone who raced and thanks also to our support crew for timekeeping - Liz Davidson, Sue and Deirdre!

At today's NSMS AGM we had the absolute honour of celebrating someone who has given so much to our club and to New Zealand Masters Swimming.

Liz Davidson has been awarded Life Membership of NZ Masters Swimming AND Life Membership of North Shore Masters Swimmers, and if anyone has ever earned it, it's Liz.

Since joining NSMS in 2001, Liz has been one of the most impactful people in our club. From her pivotal role in the lead up to the 2017 World Masters Games, to spending 10 years as NZ Masters IT Officer, patiently dragging the NZMS organisation into the digital age, her contribution has been immense. When she's unable to compete, she's timekeeping, and wrangling relay teams. Her leadership, warmth, and dedication to fun, friendship, and inclusion embodies our core values, and is what makes NSMS the club it is and we are so lucky to have her.

And we cannot avoid mention of Deirdre's absolutely incredible cake. A swimmer mid stroke, lane ropes, starting blocks, and "LIZ 4 LIFE NSMS", all in fondant. Well done Deirdre! 👏
