The second Bank Windhoek Long Course Gala will take place on Friday, 3 November 2017 and Saturday, 4 November 2017 at the Katutura Swimming Pool.
“As in the past, the long course season is made possible by the generous financial assistance of Bank Windhoek. NASU has long standing relationship with Bank Windhoek, which it cherishes, especially in time of economic hardship,” said Jurie Badenhorst on behalf of NASU.
“This gala is a long course meet, meaning it will be held in a 50 metre (as opposed to a 25 metre) pool. The gala will be held at the Katutura pool, for the reason that the Olympia Municipal pool will, according to our information, will only be filled up over the weekend,” Badenhorst said.
The following clubs will partake in the Gala: Aqua Swimming and Fitness Club, Dolphins Swimming Club, Namib Swim Academy and Marlins and Swakopmund Swimming Club.
A total of 219 swimmers have for this weekend’s Bank Windhoek Long Course Gala.
The total of 829 individual entries relating to 22 events, spread over two days, have been received. These include some long distance events, such as the 400 metre freestyle and 800 metre freestyle.
