The fourth year Education students arranged a gala for the 140 first year Sport Education students. This gave every Sport Education student the chance to swim, show their skills and enjoy the opportunity.

Ms Cherese Jones lectured the methodology whilst Mr LJ van Zyl and Ms Antoinette Botha were involved in the swimming skills.

‘We hope that this will become an annual event. Furthermore, we hope that we can do the same with athletics in future,’ said Mr LJ van Zyl.

Present at the swimming gala were Prof. Chika Sehoole, Dean; Prof. Salomé Human-Vogel, Deputy Dean; Prof. Johan Wassermann, Head: Department of Humanities Education; and other staff members.

Good swimmers and beginner swimmers all participated. There were many life savers, coaches and students to help those who took part in the event. The encouragement of all students was wonderful and a sense of pride was visible.

The staff assessed the fourth year students for their participation in the gala.
