Morocco will be hosting some of Mzansi’s top aquatics talent when the swimming programme of the 12th All Africa Games take place from 21 – 24 August, 2019 in the capital city of Rabat.
The South African swimming team topped the medal podium in 2015 with a total of 54 medals and will be looking to better that count.
Some powerful performances are expected from Erin Gallagher, who will be looking to make a splash in the 50m and 100m freestyle, the 50m and 100m butterfly, as well as the 50m backstroke, with Emma Chelius presenting some tough competition in the butterfly events.
