Caxton Reynolds Race: Winter swimming pool challenge (round four)

This past Saturday, June 28, the contestants of the Caxton Reynolds Race 2014 had to dive deep in a freezing swimming pool, on a very cold and windy morning, to earn their points in a race to win a trip to Zanzibar.

The event took place at Caxton East/South head office in Boksburg.

The teams had two challenges on this day, one for a spot prize courtesy of Hirsch’s Boksburg and the other challenge for their points in the race.

For both challenges one team member from each team had to hold their breath underwater in a very cold pool and the contestant who held their breath the longest under water won the challenge.

Team Kempton Express and The Tembisan won both challenges, for the Hirsch’s prize, a Whirlpool cooking oven

and the highest points for this leg of the race.

The winners of this year’s race will win an all-expenses paid trip to Zanzibar, sponsored by SA Reynolds Travel Centre in Springs.

Their next challenge will take place in Joburg South, at Kenilworth Spar, on Saturday, July 5.
