The High School swimming teams of Maragon Private School have had a successful season.
The year started off with the annual Inter-house Gala which saw many new pupils participate.
The swimming team then made their way on a camp to Die Oog.
It was then time for the Inter-High swimming gala series which included schools around Johannesburg.
Maragon A-Team swimmers continued their good form as they came out victorious and won the the Inter-high gala by 1 point.
The B team Inter-high followed and the swimmers excelled in the pool against very tough competition.
“We never imagined that we would experience such a nail-biting, final few races. After much screaming, shouting and nervous shaking we couldn’t believe the team won. What an experience and rush for us all,” said the school’s Jordyn Haupt.
