NATIONAL SWIMMING NEWS - Two Westville Boys’ High School swimmers have smashed Chad Le Clos 11-year record held at the school.
Once again, WBHS proved why they were the country’s swimming powerhouse as seven records were broken at their Championship Gala, including three of Chad le Clos’, on Wednesday night.
Luca Holtzhausen and Guy Brooks together toppled the seven standing records. Chad le Clos’ records have stood since 2009 and 2010.
Le Clos is a WBHS old boy, an Olympic champion and a multiple world champion in both long course and short course swimming.
He made headlines when he beat one of the greatest swimmers in the world, Michael Phelps, in the American’s speciality, the 200m butterfly, at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
