Dear Gauteng Schools Water Polo Parents, Players, Coaches, Officials and Community
Please kindly find attached for your attention the FINAL 2024 GSWP Teams Announcement for the SWPSA Inter Provincial Tournament (“IPT”) taking place in East London from 7 to 11 December 2024.
We would like to congratulate all those selected in this regard and look forward to a good showing at this year’s IPT in our new Gauteng Colours.
NB* Please kindly note the following additional important information in this regard:
- The Teams as attached are FINAL but are subject to change for inter alia any of the following reasons (where applicable):
- Player commitment/attendance during the remaining months leading up to the IPT
- Player discipline issues
- Player injuries
- Player form
- Financial standing with GSWP
- Squad Reserves are expected to attend all remaining sessions leading up to the IPT as they remain integral to their Age Groups, and may need to replace a selected player(s) and participate at the IPT. Squad Reserves remain eligible to receive their Gauteng Schools Provincial Colours subject to their commitment/attendance during the remaining months leading up to the IPT.
- The GSWP Executive is still working hard at finalising and trying to minimise the 2024 Player IPT Tour Cost as far as possible – as I am sure you can imagine taking down 302 Players plus Coaches, Managers, Referees, etc. to East London to participate is no easy task!
It is anticipated that once all IPT Tour expense confirmations have been finalised the 2024 Player IPT Tour Cost (excluding apparel and personal spending (pocket) money), will not be greater than R12,500 (Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Rand) per player. Please therefore Budget accordingly! It is expected that by latest Thursday, 7 November 2024 the actual Final IPT cost will have been finalised and communicated to those players who have been selected to represent GSWP at the IPT.
- Squad Reserves who have paid their IPT Deposit (i.e. R7,500) are requested to please email their FULL Banking Details to Richard Irvine at richard.irvine61@gmail.com as soon as possible to be refunded their deposit paid.
- The GSWP Provincial Colours Capping Ceremony will take place on Wednesday, 4 December 2024 in the Indoor Basketball Centre, St Peter’s College (details to follow). Kindly diarise the date.
NB* Players who have not fully paid all amounts due to GSWP at that point in time will unfortunately not be eligible to receive their Gauteng Schools Provincial Colours nor participate at the IPT.

GSWP Executive Committee
