Young Durban swimmer spends time with his hero

12-year-old Jaden Kockott, an ardent swimmer who's taking part in the famous aQuellé Midmar Mile this weekend, got to hang out with his hero, Chad Ho.

That's thanks to him being the second entrant into the aQuellé Academy of Superheroes.

Jaden will swim his 2nd aQuellé Midmar Mile as part of the Browns School team, which caters for pupils with special needs.

Jaden is proof that what the mind can conceive, the body can achieve!

Ho, who's won the aQuellé Midmar Mile seven times, shared an important tip for the youngster ahead of Saturday.
