Novice team wins prestige gala
This is an ideal event to introduce children to the sport of swimming
AQUATIC Academy’s novice team won ESP’s recent annual prestige novice gala at the Boksburg indoor pool.
The ESP series stages two galas during the swimming season which are open to all swimming schools on the East Rand. All the times are recorded and the top eight times in each event and age group qualify to represent their swimming school at the prestige gala. Medals are awarded to the top three podium finishers.
This is an ideal event to introduce children to the sport of swimming. All the little swimmers from all over the East Rand bravely faced the crowds to do their best in their swim.
Chane van Rooyen won four of the academy’s five gold medals. Academy swimmers also returned with six silver and five bronze medals.
Savannah Mitchell and Kyle McKenzie from the academy’s high performance group spent the morning on the pool deck, coaching and advising the novice swimmers before each event.
