She broke 50m records in Freestyle, Butterfly and Breaststroke; 100m records in Breaststroke and IM; as well as the 200m Breaststroke. She broke the 50m Breaststroke by a 3 second margin and the 100m Breaststroke by 6 1/2 seconds.
The 50m fly record was last broken by commonwealth Gold Medallist Rebecca Perrot 20 years ago.
The 50m Freestyle record had stood for an incredible 25 years since it was set by commonwealth games gold medallist Jaynie Parkhouse in 1991.
Jolie is a well deserving recipient of our Masters Swimmer of the Year." SNZ Awards
Meet Jolie Fenwick


What does Jolie do when she is not in the water? You can find her on the beach or waterskiing and in her down time she loves watching Netball, Rugby, The Blackcaps, eating chocolates and drinking wine.

One of Jolie's most memorable swimming achievements was going to the Pan Pacific Games in Sydney in 1999 as she got to see some amazing swimmers like Ian Thorpe, Grant Hackett, Penny Heyns, Leisel Jones, Geoff Huegill, Susie O'Neill, Lenny Krayzelburg and Pieter van den Hoogenband. She made the semi final in her 200m breastroke. Unfortunately, the following year Jolie just-just missed out on qualifying for the 2000 Olympics.
Some of her future swimming goals are to always try and do PB's and break the NZ Masters Records, she would love to make it to a World Masters Swimming Champs or Pan Pacific Games but says at this stage of her life that that's not an option. One of her main goals was to become the NZ Master Swimmer of the year which she has now achieved and feels very honoured to have received it.
Some advice from Jolie herself:

Well done Jolie on being selected as NZMS Swimmer of The Year 2016 and all the best for the future.
