Get yourself together for a splash 'n' dash. Featherston Community Swimming Relay
Featherston Community Swimming Relay is on Tuesday Feb 19th, starting at 6.30 pm, runs to approx 8.30 pm.
Teams of 4 swimmers swim 1 length each in a heat, then each team goes into a graded final. The fastest 7 teams swim off for the "Pioneer Trophy" in top final. We handicap the finals so finishes are pretty cool and action packed with all teams finishing at same time.
Each team can enter 1 swimmer into a separate 25 m Dash to win the SWDC "25m Dash " trophy. This sprint is not handicapped so it's a great adrenaline swim in the final. Current "Dash", champion Jon Winter, ex Olympic swimmer and ex Featherston Swimming Club member ,travels from Kapiti to compete annually and is over 40 yrs.
Team entry is $30 per team. Spectators $2 . Great raffles and Greytown Butcher sausage sizzle available. Our SWDC councillors on hand to hand out chocolate as each swimmer finishes.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
