The Knysna gala was such a great experience for many of our new young swimmers. It was also great to see some of the Senior swimmers mentoring our other young swimmers.
There were many PB’s swam, lots of laughs, lots of friendships made and a great vibe.
Proud of everyone who participated. It was definitely worth the trip to Knysna!!

I love stories of perseverance and triumph through a tough situation and 15 year old Jemmah Roman showed tonight what a tough girl she is.
Jemmah had a phenomenal SANJ and then unfortunately tore her calf playing another sport and could not compete in many events at Seniors.
At first, I didn’t think Algeria was a good idea as we only trained 6 proper sessions before she left, but she showed that if you put your mind to the task at hand you can be triumphant.
Yes it wasn’t a PB, but she executed the race exactly as planned. Always remember in the 200m Butterly, it’s often not the person who is leading the first 100m who wins the race.
I love coaching swimmers to do the tough races as I think that’s where the Mathematics comes in and Jem split 33 , 37 , 38 , 37 and did just what she needed to do.
I am so proud of you, Jem. 200m Butterly ain’t for the faint hearted and you delivered one heck of a performance. Wish I could have been there with you. You rock!!
