This past weekend nine Herschel swimmers competed at the South African Senior Grand Prix in Stellenbosch. The gala was an open age group gala and all the girls swam against the very best of the country. The South African Commonwealth team participated in the gala as well, so competition was tough amongst all the swimmers!
