First Splash for Junior Women in new pool

AUT Millennium's Sir Owen G. Glenn National Aquatic Centre opened this morning with the First Splash taking place from 10:00am until midday. In front of a crowd of parents and aquatic enthusiasts, a lucky few got to be the first to jump into the 50m NAC pool.
