Thanks to Our Sponsors
The Whangarei Swimming Club would like to express gratitude to our sponsors who supported us to put on such a successful Spring Carnival recently.

A really big thank you to MERCURY ENERGY who have come onboard as the naming rights sponsor of the club's two carnivals in 2011 - its great to have their support, especially as their colours are very similar to ours!

Also thanks to local companies DONOVAN GROUP, NORTHLAND WASTE and FLETCHER EASY STEEL, who sponsor the club.

And last but not least, we also salute our lane sponsors - DIVE HQ, CARTRIDGE WORLD WHANGAREI, MATICH TRANSPORT, OMAK MEATS, MIZONE and A'FARE - who have also been very supportive.

Without all our sponsors we would not be able to put on such a successful carnival, so please support them wherever and whenever possible.
