Local swimmers ready to compete
A total of 159 swimmers will take part in the much-anticipated Bank Windhoek Namibian National Swimming Championships.
The four-day event will start today and finish on Sunday at the Olympia Swimming Pool in Windhoek. The championships is the highlight of the Bank Windhoek Long Course Gala season, and an event that swimmers look forward to every season.
“This gala will also serve as the trials for the South African Junior Championships next month.
“We can expect brilliant times with a lot of personal bests and hopefully national age group records,” said the Namibia Swimming Union (NASU) spokesperson Jurie Badenhorst.
Swimmers will compete in the 50m swimming pool, starting at 17:30 on Thursday and Friday, with the last five sessions planned for Sunday from 08:30.
Aqua Swimming and Fitness Club, Dolphins Swimming Club, Lechwe Swimming Club, Marlins, Namib Swim Academy, Oranjemund Sand Sharks and Swakopmund Swimming Club have all confirmed their participation at the meet.
“On behalf of the swimmers and NASU, we would like to say thank you, Bank Windhoek, for making this possible. Without your sponsorship, this would not have been possible,” Badenhorst added.
