🏊♂️Splashdown! Our Swimmers Brave the Eikenhof Dam at Elgin🏊♂️
A massive congratulations to our Curro Hermanus Aquatics club swimmers who traded the pool for the unpredictable thrill of open water swimming last weekend!
Trading clear lanes for murky depths, zero lines, and open water sighting, our squad showed immense grit, mental toughness, and adaptability. While it was a thrilling first-time experience for several of our athletes, our seasoned swimmers returned to smash their goals.
Our squad brought home an incredible haul of top finishes:
🔹 The 500m Dash:
Ben Jooste – An incredible 4th out of the water overall in the entire 500m pack! (2nd Boys 15)
Kate Tager – 1st Girls 14
Emily Kritzinger – 1st Girls 15
Luné Fouché – 1st Girls 16
Alexa Pieterse – 2nd Girls 16
🔹 The 1500m Marathon:
Jayden Breedt – 2nd Boys 16
Ryn Abrie – 6th Boys 14
💥We are incredibly proud of all our club members who pushed past their comfort zones and represented Curro Hermanus Aquatics with such outstanding determination!💥
