Efforts to push up swimming in the north

Selebi-Phikwe, which was affected by the closure of the BCL Mine, once had a vibrant swimming club with well-maintained facilities.

However, these facilities have now fallen into disrepair and the swimming club has relocated to Palapye, leading to a decline in the number of swimmers in the region. To address this decline, three coaches, Gondo Gondo of the Stingrays Club, Solomon Mpusetsang and Simon Tshwaane from the Propellers Club, organised a three-day swimming summer camp in Francistown.
