BACKGROUND:
This is a fun swim meet for the Rainbow Swim Teams of NZ (TAMS Auckland, DSW Wellington, Rainbow Waves Christchurch) and their friends and allies. You don't have to be a member.

This swim meet was 1st held in 2012 to celebrate TAMS 20th anniversary and the growing rainbow swim community with DSW (Different Strokes Wellington) having formed in 2011 for the 2nd Outgames (held in Wellington). Every even year TAMS hosts the swim meet in Auckland and every odd year DSW hosts in Wellington. In 2026 we welcome Rainbow Waves, our 3rd NZ Rainbow swim team.

At the swim meet we compete for 2 trophies. The Capital Challenge Shield 4x25 Medley Relay (2 men, 2 women) and the TAMS 20th Anniversary Cup a multi-swimmer x25m free relay. Relays are deck entry on the day.

Hosted by Team Auckland Masters Swimming West Wave Pool & Leisure Centre, 20 Alderman Drive, Henderson, Auckland Registration and warm-up from 1.30pm, Events start at 2.00pm Spectators, supporters and volunteers do not need to register.

On Saturday, 8 March 2025, more than 15 swimmers from TAMS took to the Karori Pool in Wellington to race against those from DSW, CHC and beyond at the annual TAMS/DSW Race. 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️
It was another amazing event, the first competition style for many of our TAMS members, and everyone did us proud. 💙🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
