Teammates, Skye and Jimmy Munro, earned the junior boy and senior girl awards respectively.

Brooklyn Croxon (Uniswim), who dominated the Mpumalanga Top Schools Swimming Championships with five wins in five events, was presented with the victrix ludorum trophy.

Brooklyn was named Curro Nelspruit’s senior swimmer of the year. She also received the senior victrix ludorum trophy at Curro’s Interhouse swimming gala.

In August during the Mpumalanga Short Course Gala, Jetro broke the 100-metre free, 100-metre fly, 100-metre back, 100-metre breast and the 200-metre individual medley (IM) records to register undoubtedly the best individual performance of the day.

He was also named Mpumalanga’s senior swimmer for 2016 and, at the recent Top Schools Gala, he also received the victor ludorum trophy for setting four new records in the 50-metre freestyle, 200- metre individual medley, 50-metre fly and breaststroke.

Brooklyn Croxon set three new records in the 200-, 100- and 50-metre free style.

She also broke a 14-year-old record in the 100-metre free that was held by Springbok swimmer, Karin Prinsloo.

Another two swimmers of Uniswim, Jordyn Minifie and Liza-Mari Drummond also made history in the pool.

Jordyn broke three records in the 100-metre fly, 400- and 200-metre freestyle and teammate. Liza-Mari made her mark in the 50-metre backstroke, 50-metre fly, 100- and 200 metre-freestyle.
