New Zealand Open Water Swimming Championships
The New Zealand Open Water Swimming Championships is organized annually in January by Swimming New Zealand at the Lake Taupo Yacht Club.
Years 2017, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2023 not included here due to the use of wetsuits (as allowed by FINA/World Aquatics rules since 2017). In 2019, 2021, and 2024 the water temperature exceeded the threshold for wetsuit usage, so swimmers competed in textile swimwear and their results are included here.
