Thirteen clubs are set to converge at the Mpesa Foundation Academy in Thika this Saturday for the Kiambu Level One Swimming Championships.
The teams are— Nova Sharks, Crawford International School, Woodcreek School, Supermarlins, Hydro Fit, The Harpoons, Braeburn Swim Team, Mpesa Foundation Academy, Juja Prep and Senior School, and St. Peter's, Juja.
This gala marks the commencement of the mid-season, with teams dedicating themselves to intensive training to elevate their performance.
Crawford International School, under the leadership of head coach Omar Omari, conducted a swimming clinic to focus on endurance, sprints, and stroke techniques.
Omari is ambitiously striving to clinch overall trophies for both boys and girls in the event on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the newly appointed coach Alex Kaindi at Nova Sharks is also enthusiastic about his team's prospects, having implemented morning training sessions to enhance the swimmers' capabilities.
Supermarlins Swim Club's coach Valentine Wambui endeavours to maintain their league lead having already posted 50 points.
She was recently appointed as an assistant coach for Team Kenya during the 8th Africa Aquatics Zone 3 Championship in Kigali, Rwanda in December.
Kiambu Aquatics chairman Gideon Kioko commended the teams for their remarkable progress and encouraged coaches to pursue both local and international courses.
Kioko envisioned fostering the growth of swimming and aquatics sports in the region through collaborative efforts with various stakeholders, including the government, athletes, parents, coaches, and officials.
