Two titles for Fletch

By Andrew Willmott | Posted: Tuesday March 18, 2025

Last weekend, Fletch McCall made a splash at the Lake Ruataniwha Open Water Swim event, competing in the 500m race against 27 other swimmers.

Not only did he claim 1st place in the Youth Category, but he also took the overall win for the event—an outstanding achievement.

Although new to open water swimming, Fletch has quickly adapted, having recently competed as the swimmer for the OBHS Challenge Wanaka team, where he also put in a strong performance. A skilled pool swimmer, he is proving to be just as fast and fearless in open water.

Congratulations, Fletch - an exciting future in open water swimming awaits!
