OR Tambo Socini Games

Four ESP swimmers were selected to compete for Ekurhuleni in the O R Thambo Socini Inaugural Games. The opening Ceremony was held at the Germiston Stadium.

The Ekurhuleni team were well sponsored, and proudly wore new memorial tracksuits, golf and t shirts, caps, swimming caps, and kit bags…… a definite bonus considering the icy weather.

Cold weather in conjunction with outdoor pools is not condusive to encouraging fast swimming, however all the provincial athletes showed their grit and determination, posting some excellent times in the Delville pool
