Tough swim today for our incredible ladies, two from Lowveld and one from Joburg

Started bumpy and then they got hit with a relentless S-N current which they had to fight against through their entire swim

These ladies dug deep and showed us all what pure grit and determination looks like

We are exceptionally proud of each of you for swimming hard, never giving up and stepping onto the beach like the true champions you are
