Swimming at
VG is tiered to suit all abilities and skill
levels.
For those that are competitive in nature
there is the 1st team squad who train
three times a week, and compete in the league
galas.
For girls who have a good stroke or swimming
style, and enjoy keeping fit there is the 2nd
team squad; for those who are still gaining
confidence in some strokes, or mastering the
dreaded tumble turns there is intermediate
swimming.
For the girls who are complete novices
there are a number of beginner’s swimming groups
where the girls are coached by a teacher and
senior swimmers so that they can learn to swim.
Swimming is amazing!
Spar Ladies River
Mile Swim 2014
On 16th February
six intrepid team swimmers participated in the 90th
Annual Spar River Mile Swim.
This event was formerly swum in the Red
House River, but due to increased pollution it has
been relocated to the Sundays River.
There were a total of 341 women from 8 to
65 years in age who participated in this year’s
event; so it was no mean feat for our team
swimmers to complete the swim.
This year the wind was blowing downstream,
so the water was very choppy, that coupled with
the heat, and many contestants made for a tough
race. Well
done to Leticia du Preez, Jordan Fischer, Emma and
Liza Goodes, Abby Vos and Danielle Walker on their
successful swim!
