Major sponsor of Carey Aquatic, Kodak NexPress, is celebrating the world-class achievements of their top swimmers who recently won two gold and a silver medal at the world swimming championships in Montreal, Canada. Shayne Reese took gold in the 4 x 100m women’s freestyle relay with a championship record time of 3.37.11, and newly crowned world champion Danni Miatke won gold in the 50m butterfly with a winning time of 26.11, beating the world record holder.

Both Shayne and Danni belong to the Carey Aquatic swimming club in Melbourne.

Head coach and chairman of the Australian Coaches Association, Rohan Taylor says the long-term sponsorship agreement has gone a long way to helping the two champion swimmers. “The support from Kodak NexPress is assisting us at Carey Aquatic to provide all our swimmers with the best quality coaches and facilities, to further develop our highly successful swimming program and to help raise the profile of the club as a high performance centre,” says Taylor.

As part of the sposorship agreement a number of unique business applications are being planned by Kodak NexPress, utilising the technology provided by their revolutionary NexPress 2100 digital production press and using their own ‘smart’ software capabilities to assist the club in promoting themselves more effectively.

National Manager Kodak Digital Solutions, GS&S, Jon Field says the swimmers have shown that when you combine talent together with dedication and persistence you can achieve great things, something NexPress strives to achieve on a daily basis. “These girls have not been put off by their world class competition, they have fronted up to the task and taken on the ‘best of the best’ and come out winners, something Kodak NexPress has been doing since their foray into the digital printing market some two years ago and will now be doing this with the added benefit of being part of the newly formed Kodak Graphic Communications Group,” says Field.
