Swimming
Open Water
NTS Open Water Swimming has completed its 8th season of National participation during the 2017/2018 season and we have grown from strength to strength.
28 swimmers participated at SA National OW Championships 2018 and have qualified for NTS Colours. Unfortunately Andro Smit had to withdraw due to ill health. The letter under the signature of the President of NTS and will be distributed in due course.
Our congratulations to all our open water swimmers for their dedication and their achievements at NTS OW Championships, Gauteng OW Challenge and SA National OW Championships during the past
season.
Masters Swimming
School Swimming
Once again NTS continued assisting some of the High and Primary Schools in running the Inter-League galas. This involves the capturing of the entries and running of the gala. Computer generated results have the benefit that the galas run quite quickly. Each school receives a full set of results that they can use to analyse. NTS officials are also used to assist with judging on the day. The number of officials varies depending on the needs of the gala. Schools still need to provide the timekeepers. Touch pads were only used at some of the High School galas, since a decision was taken that touch pads would be available for the Primary Schools.
Diving and Synchronised Swimming
Diving is growing stronger in NTS!
The 2017/18 Diving season saw our divers participate in the Johannesburg Inter-Primary Schools League for the first time. Our boys did particularly well. Seven participants took part in RSA’s and National Age Groups held in Durban in December 2017. Once again the boys and senior girls excelled.
