Anna Simcic, from the Avon Aquatics club, works on improving her backstroke turns at Queen Elizabeth II Park yesterday. Simcic has had an exceptionally successful month. She won the 100 and 200m backstroke titles at the Victorian championships in Melbourne in personal best times and is now within reach of the Seoul Olympic qualifying times in those events. At the Canterbury championships last week she won four titles in the girls’ 15, 16 and 17 years age-group, in the 100 and 200m backstroke, and 100 and 200m butterfly. The latter two events were won in personal best times. From February 18 to 21, Simcic will swim in the New Zealand age-group championships at Papakura. Her final chance to achieve the Seoul qualifying times will be at the New Zealand championships in Dunedin from March 16 to 19. Photograph by ANNETTE DEW.
