Jody follows in brother’s wake

These galas assist novices who learn 'how to race'

ESP Kempton Aquatics holds an exciting series of galas for non Swim South Africa registered swimmers – those novices still learning “how to race”.

These events help to raise funds for the league swimmers.

Two galas are held earlier in the season from which the top eight times are selected in each age and event.

These selected swimmers then compete for medals in the prestige event held at the end of season.

Twelve future league swimmers competed from the Aquatic Academy. Matthew Greenfield was the shining star, winning three gold and one silver medal. Keagan Pretorius won two bronze, Jared Wade silver and bronze, Mikayla Pon two silver and Lana James three silver.

Other qualifiers that were able to compete were Kirsten Swartz, Zoe Stock, Phoebe Roberts, Kyle North and Zachery Scott.
