“All three swimmers represented the club and their school with great pride. They train at Boksburg Virgin Active at the K90 Centre.
“Both Keagan and Eunietta have had a serious case of Covid-19 recently, which kept them from training, and yet they have come back fighting.

Team Onyx is very proud of all the swimmers and their achievements at the gala,” said Angela Meehan.
