The South African National Junior championship gala is one of the most prestigious galas to take part in, competing against the best swimmers in the country at age group level.  🏊🏽‍♂️

This year, Rondebosch once again had a host of swimmers qualify to take part, which in itself is an honour. Alexander Benecke, Jason Bouwer, Andrew Gilbert, Troy McWilliam, Noah Roman, Jude Searle, Ben Sirin, Nic Trower, Logan Williams and Noah Wollenschlaeger all took part.

To make a final in a particular event ranks you in the top 10 in your age group in the country.  Rondebosch had the rare distinction this year of having three swimmers, Alexander Benecke, Nic Trower and Noah Wollenschlaeger qualify for the final in the 50m freestyle.

Nic Trower excelled at the gala, winning gold in the 200m backstroke, 200m Individual medley and the 100m freestyle, as well as silver in 50m freestyle.  Andrew Gilbert won gold in the 50m breastroke and bronze in the 100m breaststroke. 🏆

Well done gents! 👏🏻
