The maiden edition of the National Swimming Championship, organized by Citi TV, is set to take place at the Trust Sports Emporium in Korle-Gonno on July 15-16, 2023.
Over 150 swimmers from various clubs, including the GH Dolphins, Marlins, Legon Sharks, Tema Seals, and Alpha Swim School, will compete in the event.
The championship will see both males and females compete in all swimming events, with age categories ranging from 10 and under to 14 and above.
Registration for the event will begin at 7:00am on both days, with events starting at 9am. Swimmers will be awarded medals and certificates in between the various contests.
The competition is part of Citi TV’s efforts to promote swimming in Ghana and to help athletes prepare for the Africa Games, which will be hosted in Ghana in 2023.
“We believe that this will be a great opportunity to showcase the talent of Ghanaian swimmers and to promote the sport in the country,” said Benjamin Nketsia, Head of Sports at Citi TV/FM.
The National Swimming Championship is powered by Citi TV, Citi Sports, and the Ghana Swimming Association. Partners include Spring Consult and Trust Sports Emporium.
The public is invited to attend the event to cheer on the swimmers and to support the growth of swimming in Ghana.
