Swimming caps could be seen bobbing in the water as arms glistened during a successful gala at Summit College.
Bubbles Swim School participated in the annual Little Feet Gala on 14 October from 8am to 1pm. The gala is a novice gala held for swimmers who do not belong to an A team, provincial team or club, and is open to all swim schools in Johannesburg.
About 330 swimmers participated in the event, 50 of whom are swimmers at Bubbles Swim School. Senior swimmers, Faith Wilson and Thomas Millar represented Bubbles well. Faith ranked top for the senior girls, and Thomas ranked second for senior boys, and Bubbles swimmers took home the third-place trophy.
The school has been operating in Midrand for 16 years, offering swimming lessons and water safety awareness to 23 nursery schools and eight primary schools in and around Midrand, plus private lessons, baby classes, stroke correction and adult lessons.
“I am very proud of all our swimmers. I am aware that some of our swimmers have only started swimming for the first time this year and have made progress from beginner to intermediate, and this is a huge achievement for any swimmer,” said Yolanda Mclean the owner of Bubbles Swim School.
Tania Walter, the swimming instructor added, “I am so proud of all our swimmers who participated, the parents were outstanding participants in cheering and encouraging all swimmers during the various events held throughout the day. Thank you all so much for the help and for giving us the opportunity to teach your children.”
One of the parents, Charmaine Wilson said, “The gala is a community event which brings people of all walks of life together and it is well organized. It encourages children to swim, which is an important life skill, and it encourages parents to take an active interest in their children’s physical and social development. Lastly, it also Highlights swimming as a sport in South Africa and the building of all sports through clubs.”
