Regional merger floated

Swimming

Plans to have Swimming Wairarapa and Swimming Wellington form an alliance which will see them become one region could be advanced at a meeting in Masterton on Sunday.

It is understood the move is being prompted by Swimming Wairarapa as it does not have the resources to continue as a stand-alone region and considers the forming of a new entity with Swimming Wellington could lead to better pathways for their swimmers and be more fiscally prudent as well.
