I'm sure the girl 7th from the left in the top row and the boy 4th from the right in the 2nd row are Standers. Father was Barry they were both very good swimmers,Don't remember their names.

Barbara  -  I remember your brother Steven.  This photo is very similar to the other one that was posted some time ago.  Delia remembered most of the names.  I think she should take a look at this one and refresh our memories again.

Diana, you are right  -  the girls name is Annemarie, but I can't remember her brothers name. 

Sheena still looks the same - !

No George,  I was never in the swimming team.  That girl is Marleen Coetzee, daughter of Rooi Andries and Linda Coetzee.  I think her brother, Charl, is still living in Oranjemund.  Anyone know?

2nd row from the front, 4th guy from the right, I think is Scott Wallace (not sure though) and next to him could be Stephanie Carr

He was an "Afrikaaner" as far as I remember. I think he was the guy who bit in his tongue when jumping from the 1meter board. I mentioned that in a former pool topic.

No, Scott was definately not an Afrikaaner, maybe Scottish or something like that. He was in my class.

Just to let you all know Scot Wallace does not come from Scotland, his parents left england and went to cape town, then oranjemund. Debbie his sister lives in scotland and she only went there because she married a gut from scotland. Scot has returned to england a few years ago and is a doctor here. Scot has never lived in scotland

That's me, bottom right.  Can't believe how blond my hair was.  Picture must have been taken in 1977 or 1978.
