A day in the life of a Coach at Silver Fins Swimming Club 🙌🏼

A huge congratulations to Khloé on being awarded the Senior Victrix Ludorum Award for Swimming at school this morning 🏆

Khloé, one of our Advanced Squad swimmers, was completely surprised when her name was called and we could not be prouder of her achievement. Her dedication, consistency and hard work in the pool continue to shine through both in training and in competition 🌊

Well done, Khloé. This is such a special and well-deserved achievement 👏

Public holidays = swimmer attendance down 📉
Coach effort = absolutely not down 📈😂
Still up before the sun.
Still writing sets.
Still shouting splits.
Still bringing the vibe like it’s a full squad.
Because real coaching doesn’t change depending on numbers.
2 swimmers or 20 swimmers…
the commitment stays the same.

🏊‍♂️ Level 2 Regional Championships – Oudtshoorn
Our first Level 2 Regional Championships and our first time travelling away as a team… and what a weekend it turned out to be.
🔥 164 races
⚡ 110 Personal Bests
🏆 12th out of 42 teams
The most exciting part for me as a coach? We were still PB’ing on the final day of a gruelling competition, showing that our swimmers peaked exactly when it mattered most.
We also swam our first relays as a team, and the results were incredible. The energy, team spirit and determination this group showed made me incredibly proud.
🥇 Gold
• Matthew Millar – 100m Fly (Boys U13)
• Khloe Weimers – 50m Backstroke & 50m Freestyle (Girls U11)
🥈 Silver
• Christiaan Basson – 50m Breaststroke
• Christiaan Basson – 100m Fly (Boys U10)
• Matthew Millar – 50m Fly
• Matthew Millar – 200m Breaststroke
• Nathan Millar – 200m Freestyle
• Boys Relays
🥉 Bronze
• Matthew Millar – 100m Freestyle
• Matthew Millar – 200m Freestyle
• Nathan Millar – 100m Freestyle
• Christiaan Basson – 50m Fly
• Khloe Weimers – 50m Fly
💙 Special mention – Khloe Weimers
After a freak accident the night before the gala and 9 stitches above her knee, Khloe still stepped up, raced her heart out and walked away with two gold medals. Incredible bravery and determination.
👏 A huge shoutout to Christiaan Basson, who swam 27 races (including relays) and PB’d in 26 of them, often PB’ing in both heats and finals.
One of my favourite moments of the weekend was the Boys U13–14 relay:
Matthew Millar • Hanroux Pottas • Sean Kondo • Gomolemo Kele
The energy behind the blocks and the fight in the water showed exactly what this team is about.
Proud coach. Proud team. The future is exciting. 💙🔥
