In 1971, Kevin won the Auckland Deaf Society Hunt Cup for the All Round Men’s Swimming Championship. The event took place during summer at the Kelston School for the Deaf swimming pool. It was not a fancy pool, but it did the job. Laps were measured to meet the distances for 100 Yards Freestyle, 220 Yards Backstroke, and 220 Yards Breaststroke.

Ten debutantes curtsy at ball for Deaf Society
