    Frustration from swimmer Lewis Clareburt, despite setting at New Zealand record at the national championships in Hastings


    He's posted a time of three minutes 46.85 seconds - beating Matt Stanley's 2012 record with Zac Reid behind him.

    Clareburt was .07 of a second short of the Olympic qualifying mark, and told Whakaata Maori he was on the brink.
