As they say, every dark cloud has a silver lining and for Pirates Swim Club the Coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) has resulted in some positive lessons to be taken away from the entire experience, says president René Dulieu.
As the world grapples with this deadly virus, Dulieu said while the club was greatly affected, it also shows that nothing should be taken for granted.
“Firstly, I think that all of the team really got to realize how close they all were and how they missed each other over the lockdown period. Secondly, we all learned other ways to stay in shape besides swimming (such as skipping, jogging, ‘land training’ and weight training) and how these exercises can positively influence and complement the swimming programs to make us even stronger in the water,” Dulieu told
