The event scheduled to hold from February 28 to March 1, aims to identify and develop 100 talented young swimmers by the year 2025, marking a significant investment in the nation’s sporting future.

Addressing a diverse audience of sponsors, press, and distinguished guests in Abuja yesterday, the federation’s president, Chinoye Daphey Aliyu, expressed great enthusiasm and responsibility towards nurturing the potential of Nigeria’s youth in swimming. “With the right training, mentorship, and opportunities, our young swimmers can rise to compete at the highest levels,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of providing access to professional training and competitive opportunities across the country.

The ‘Swim to Future’ initiative is set to kick-off in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) as a pilot program, with plans for expansion into other regions, ensuring that every child with an interest in swimming has the chance to excel.

“This program is just the beginning; following its success, the federation plans to introduce the ‘SWIM FOR LIFE’ Championship, an inter-school competition designed to foster healthy rivalry and sportsmanship among young swimmers nationwide,” Aliyu stayed.
