Papua New Guinea Swimming Inc

With the support of the Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee, Papua New Guinea Swimming Inc organised for the two swimmers, both 17, to train in Port Moresby for the week leading up to a competition in Australia.

PNGSI Secretary, Carly Pini, said the two swimmers departed for Brisbane on Wednesday this week. They flew to Melbourne on Thursday and were to be joined by experienced PNG swimmer Ashley Seeto.

They are currently competing at the 2018 Victorian Open Championships being held at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) from January 12-14.

Young and old came together at the Taurama Aquatic & Indoor Centre (TAIC) on July 1 to celebrate the inaugural event with a round robin game of water polo.

The event was hosted by Papua New Guinea Swimming Inc.

“We were very fortunate leading up to the FINA World Aquatics Day to have a FINA Development Water Polo Clinic for coaches.

PNGSI with FINA, through its Development and Educational programs, and corporate sponsor BSP, will be carrying out a beginners’ level FINA Water Polo Clinic.

The Clinic will coincide with the FINA World Aquatics Day on July 1, where it is hoped a competition will take place.

High performance manager of the Water Polo Program at Queensland Academy of Sport, Aleksandr Osadchuk, will conduct the clinic at the Taurama Aquatic and Indoor Centre (TAIC).
