Erin Gallagher

As a swimmer since age 7, Erin describes herself as a fish out of water. She is now 19 years old and has represented South Africa at two Senior Commonwealth Games - recently competing in 7 finals and placing 5th and 6th in the 50m and 100m freestyle respectively. Erin holds the Open African Record for the 100m freestyle (Long Course and Short Course) as well as the Long Course 50m freestyle Open African record. In 2015 she was Youth Commonwealth Champion in the 50m Butterfly and placed second in the 50m and 100m freestyle. Erin's world revolves around the pool and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
