Success Stories: Swim Squad
Yolanda Carstens
I was not good enough to start in a swim squad. I could only manage 1km, and my freestyle needed work. I was also terrified of the ocean. Everything changed when I joined Sally Scaffidi's Friday Squad. Sally tailored programs and workouts that suited my ability level, and a supportive, encouraging community surrounded me. With their help, my swimming has improved, and I can now swim for longer distances in the ocean and more efficiently. Joining the swim squad was an unforgettable journey, and I'm so glad I took on the challenge.
Paul Summers
Paul loves being part of our swim squad! He says that not only has he improved his technique and strength in the pool, but he's also made some great friends along the way. He says he's proud to be part of our squad and that he's looking forward to seeing how far he can go with our support and guidance.

The sessions are well-structured and challenging, and Sandra has noticed an improvement in her swimming since she joined.
