Swimmers win medals at prestige gala

The swimming season is drawing to an end.

As always, when the swimming season draws to an end, Aquatic Academy swimmers are involved in national and regional events all around the country.

All districts fill their calendars during the season with age group galas, giving swimmers many opportunities to qualify for one of the national or regional levels on offer. These are Level 1, 2, and 3, South African Junior, South African Youth, South African Elite Youth and the South African Open.
