The Auckland swimmers Andrew McMillan and Michael Jack have earned places on the team for the upcoming world championships at the New Zealand Open Swim Championships in Christchurch.
McMillan out-touched Jack to win the 200-metre freestyle with both swimmers going under the qualifying time for July's FINA World Championships in Rome.
It brought the number of world championship qualifiers to five in nine swims after Corney Swanepoel and Glenn Snyders added to their schedule for Rome after beating the marks in the 50-metre butterfly and 50-metre breaststroke respectively at the QE2 Leisure Centre.
In the women's 200-metre freestyle Olympic backstroker Melissa Ingram edged out Penelope Marshall to win in 2:00.24, 13/100ths outside the national record and 3/10ths off the world championship qualifying time.
Former world record-holder Zoe Baker won the women's 50-metre breaststroke, while the 200-metre individual medley titles went to two 19-year-old prospects, Natalie Wiegersma of Southland and John Gatfield from Wellington.
Beijing Olympian Hayley Palmer took out the women's 50-metre butterfly.
The championships continue until Sunday.
