Kevin Geddes went off for his swimming lesson yesterday ... and ended up sharing the pool with the All Blacks.

Kevin, 17, from Bayfield High School in Dunedin was at the city's indoor Moana Pools yesterday when several players, including Luke McAlister and Ma'a Nonu, arrived for a relaxing dip after a training session at Carisbrook.

Kevin's mother, Helen, said: "He was incredibly excited. He has a high level of disability, so he doesn't understand the intricacies of rugby ... but he enjoys the haka."

Kevin was born with Down syndrome, and was later diagnosed with autism. The All Blacks are preparing for the first match of their international season, against France on Saturday.
