Spectators can look forward to some of the countries’ top swimmers with the likes of Ayrton Sweeney, Erin Gallagher, Martins Binedell, Hanim Abrahams, Rebecca Meder and Emily Visagie, who are part of team South Africa for the Commonwealth Games in Australia.
Most of the local clubs have entered their swimmers for the event.
