Swimming

[/settab]

A Brief History

Swimming at Wynberg has progressed wonderfully over the years. We have seen many records broken at interschool galas, as well as at National Competitions, and presently have a number of Western Province swimmers. Two Wynberg Old Boys – S Keyter and C Swanepoel – went on to represent South Africa and New Zealand respectively in the Olympics.
