Siina Cooke snagged yet more medals.

The Kowhai Swimming Club sent a team of 20 swimmers to the Anthony Mosse Classic in West Auckland last month.

Star swimmer Siina Cooke, 12, won two silver medals in the 50-metre and 200-metre breaststroke.

Cooke and teammate Joe Kuwano swam under the qualifying times in the breaststroke event to attend the NZ division two nationals in Dunedin in May.

Meanwhile, the club also entered a team of six in the premier under-12s event, the Harlequins Junior Festival last month.

Coach Jill Fayerman says the team recorded a number of best times over the two-day competition.
