Fun in the sun at Sandton School Group

SANDTON – The morning started off with an intensive warm-up lead by the Grade 11 learners from the high school.

It was a day of fun and friendly competition as Sandton School Group kicked off the swimming season.

“Due to the ongoing restrictions and with the health and safety of our learners, parents and staff members, we only allowed a limited number of viewers,” said school executive head Nadya Katz.

The morning started off with an intensive warm-up lead by the Grade 11 learners from the high school.

Katz added that the Grade R and 1 learners were then accompanied by the Grade 11 swimmers into the pool as this was their first-ever swim gala.
