Boksburg Aquatic Saints (BAS) quartet Kian Keylock, Divan Pretorius, Jaiden Staines and Aiden Bornman impressed at Swimming South Africa’s (SSA) High-Performance Olympic relay training camp time trial to take place in Stellenbosch from February 13 to 20.
The camp saw some of the top swimmers in the country vie to earn selection as part of the preparation for the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games.
Keylock was named the best junior male at the camp following his outstanding performances in the 100m breaststroke and 200m individual medley races respectively.
