Croftdene Swimming Club has applied for MOU to Bayview as well as our resident pool Croftdene
but to date have not received feedback. Despite Bayview being closed however the resident club has
access to this pool as they were training at the pool without a life guard on duty. Croftdene however
does not have the same access to our resident pool if a lifeguard is not on duty.
My question without any prejudice to any parties concerned is, how does Bayview have access to
train and not Croftdene? Am I to assume that they are the preferential club to obtaining training
access in the Chatsworth area? How can Bayview Swimming Club train without a lifeguard on duty
but we are told that there is no life guard so we cannot obtain access?
The winter season is over, we do not require a heated pool for training but due to all the upcoming
galas which pool do we access? Our swimmers range from those that are physically challenged to those who are competitive. The swimmers across the board have been disadvantaged throughout winter as they have not had a facility to use. They have deconditioned and have lost alot with all these odds against them. Despite the summer season beginning on 1 Oct, the municipality is still operating on winter times and unlike Bayview we cannot accces a facility after hours. The municipality has also decided now that summer is starting to close croftdene pool for renovation, this has happened last year as well.
In my opinion this is not fair. We want fairness and equality for all. This issue has been addressed with the kzn aquatics and the municipality pool superintendent. Our questions still remain unanswered.

Kemantha Ayair is an 11 year old swimmer for Croftdene Swimming Club. She is currently in Grade 5 at Willow Park Primary School. She started her swimming career in 2017 at Croftdene Swimming Club. Kemantha has participated in the Capital K and Midmar Mile. It was early in 2019 that she had achieved her level 2 SSA times at the KZN provincial championships and went on to win swimmer of the year at Croftdene Swimming Club for the 2018-2019 swimming season. Despite all the odds being against her this winter season with all the municipal pools heaters being out of operation and training in water temperatures of 16 degrees celcius, this young lady has since went on to make her level 3 times in freestyle. Kemantha believes that the secret to her success are the 5 D's -DREAMS, DISCIPLINE, DESIRE, DEDICATION & DETERMINATION. From the Croftdene Swimming Club family we would like to wish her all the best in her future swimming career.
