“It’s a pathway for development and growth which allows a dream, to be the best one can be, become a reality,” said President of PNG Swimming Inc, Liz Wells.
She added the championships were run under the direction of FINA referee, Susan Babao, PNG referee, Sarenah Pini and FINA starter, Albert Vigil.
She explained this provided a professional, fair competition for the swimmers and an opportunity for the technical officials to prepare well towards officiating at the 12th Oceania Swimming Championships that will be held in Port Moresby on June 25-30.
