WYNBERG GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL 2013 2013 | Page 53

SWIMMING TEAM New coach, Mr Hilton Slack, really encouraged the girls to swim harder and although at most of the the galas Wynberg did not finish in the top positions, the swimmers really pushed for improvement each week. In the U14 section, Maryam Adams did well by placing in the top 3 in the 50m freestyle at most galas ! Other ‘stars’ who swam well throughout the season are Faith Abrahams, Erin Slater and Sonya Stock. There was winter training for all team members to ensure that Wynberg prepares early and that all girls are swimming fit.
