In September 2007 he broke Stig Severinsen's record of 225 metres with a swim of 226 metres, and two days later extended it to 244 metres in 4 minutes 2 seconds. In 2008 he equalled the dynamic no fins record of 213 metres held by Tom Sietas, and in September 2010 he took that record alone with 218 metres, and also swam 265 metres in the dynamic discipline. He set the New Zealand constant weight record of 108 metres at the Vertical Blue Invitational in the Bahamas in 2008, and in 2017 he won a gold medal at the world championships in Roatan, Honduras, with a national record depth of 126 metres.
