Lewis Clareburt is happy with his first hit-out in the wake of his move out of Wellington - at Swimming New Zealand's World Championship Trials

Having made a permanent shift to be based in Auckland - the Commonwealth Games champion swum two seconds under the qualification mark - but four seconds slower than his time at this year's worlds - in his specialist 400-metre individual medley discipline.

Clareburt says it'll be interesting to see how he'll have to quickly refresh for the Paris Games after the World Champs.
