Our sponsorship allows Helena to travel more easily to international competitions and enhances her ability to focus on her routine and lead-up to competitions. Helena commented, "I am very excited and grateful to be partnered up with Hot Water Heat Pumps for my swimming journey as I tackle the world stage."

Helena recently competed for New Zealand in her first Commonwealth Games held on the Gold Coast to compete in the 50m, 100m and 200m butterfly, the 100m freestyle relay and the 100m medley relay. The New Zealand team she was a part of only just missed out on a medal, coming 4th in the freestyle relay. 

The next major focus for Helena is the Pan Pacific Masters Games which will also be on the Gold Coast in November 2018.
