Far North swimmers made a splash at the Special Olympics Swim Carnival, collecting a haul of 29 medals.
Fifteen home swimmers shared in the medals as teams from as far south as Waikato took to the pool in the Bay of Islands.
Seven golds, 12 silvers and 12 bronze medals were won in an impressive haul from the locals as they prepare for the Special Olympics National Summer Games in Wellington at the end of November.
Sarasin Ben was in sublime form, taking home three gold medals - the 25m breaststroke, the 25m backstroke and the 4x25m medley relay.
Ben teamed up in the relay with Chris Newhouse, Zadkeil Beasley Tango and Tony Pakura.
