Saisa swimming 2009/2010 was the last opportunity we seniors got to show our talents and skills in an international community. The training period went for 6 weeks which included a local swim tournament on every saturday, which helped us over come our tournament fear and nervousness.
As a senior member of the swim team many of us shared a common goal, that was to break our PB's (personal best). We weren't the strongest team which participated but we weren't the weakest either.
Having trained for 6 intence weeks, the day of departure finally came. We were going to Bombay, to participate in the SAISA swim tournament 2009.
In one word i can sumerise the yournament, it was jusr "amazing" we were able to shatter our personal bests, and over all we came in 4th place which i think is a very good achievment when looking back at the team we travelled with. There weren't many swimmers who came with it the top 3, but most of us got in to the finals.
I broke my personal best by 28 mili seconds in my 50m free style, and 1.2 seconds on my 100m free style and moreover 1.23seconds on my 100m breastroke.
In the two relays (400m freestyle) and (200m IM) the OSC team came in th and 3rd respectively.
One thing we wanted to win was the sportsman ship award, we cheered our throughts out for all the teams that took part and well at the end of the day its us who walked away with the sportsman ship award.
All in all my last SAISA was an amazing adventure, which was nothing but fun fun and comepetition.
