Swimming: Shore on song

The powerful North Shore squad flexed their muscles to win seven of the eight finals on offer at the national swimming championships in Wellington last night.

Athens 2004 Olympians Corney Swanepoel and Dean Kent booked their places for July's world championships in Montreal, powering to fast times.

They waited until the final races of the second night to qualify, joining their North Shore clubmates Moss Burmester and Helen Norfolk who qualified on Tuesday.

Swanepoel also swam a national record time in the 100m butterfly.
