Joy Kent
Originally from England, Joy moved to New Zealand a number of years ago. She grew up with a fear of water and last year she decided not to let her life long fear stop her from joining in the fun. After teaching herself to do breast stroke at her local pool, she joined us in October 2024 at Takapuna for her very first open water swim. Now we simply can't keep her out! 😂 She went on to complete the 2km distance in our Girl Buoy swim challenge in March this year but breaststroke was not enough for her and she set out to learn freestyle.
It was our honor to award Joy our swimmer of the year for 2024 and we feel privileged to have her as part of our committee this season.
