PNG Swimming Inc.

The Theodist PNG National Swimming Championships is underway with session in full swing. The 60 swimmers are under the PNG Swing Inc. and have ages starting as low as 5 to 50 years-old participating in the Women and Men divisions in various categories - 50 L to 100 LC Meter Freestyle, Breaststroke, and Butterfly.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the past two years had been without PNG Swimming Inc. sanctioned events. Spectators, family and supports are now back at poolside. Yesterday, they cheered on as students took the pool as the first competition from 4pm-7pm.

The program includes the Kundu Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Target Squads that aims at giving young swimmers the opportunity to progress further in competitive swimming and has been supported by BSP since 2004.

PNGSI President, Elizabeth Wells, upon receiving the sponsorship, thanked BSP for its continued support as it contributed positively to developing young talent in the country.

The event was witnessed by young up and coming swimming stars, executives of PNGSI and BSP representatives at the Taurama Aquatic and Indoor Centre (TAIC).
