Catching Our Breath 🏊‍♀️💙

A short break before we dive into the final term of the year.

Stellenbosch Aquatics will be taking a brief break from training after our last practice on Wednesday, 23 September.

Training resumes on Monday, 5 October, ready for Term 4 and the summer swimming season.

As school summer sport schedules kick in, remember to check your new timetable and chat to your coach if you need to adjust your usual practice times.

Enjoy the break, swimmers — rest up and we’ll see you back in the pool soon!

Whether you’re stepping onto the blocks, working through a tough training session, or facing something challenging outside the pool, courage doesn’t mean you never feel nervous. It means choosing to keep going anyway.

Carry this one with you into the week ahead. 🏊‍♀️

A bittersweet farewell to our Coach Jade 💙

After many special years as part of the Stellenbosch Aquatics family, Jade has been offered an exciting new opportunity to step into the role of Head Coach at Somerset College.

While we are incredibly sad to see her go, we could not be prouder of her. It has been a privilege to watch Jade grow throughout her coaching journey and to see the joy, care and commitment she has poured into our swimmers over the years. Her impact on our club and our swimming family will be felt for a long time to come.

Jade, thank you for everything you have given to Stellenbosch Aquatics. We pray that God continues to bless the work of your hands, guide you and Tijan wherever this next season takes you, and use you to shine His light and make a lasting difference in the lives of those around you.

We will miss having you poolside, but we are so excited to see what lies ahead for you.

Forever part of the SA family. 💙

Coach Jono & the Stellenbosch Aquatics Team
