Kenya Aquatics lands sponsorship deal for National Age Group Swimming Championship

In a significant boost for swimming in Kenya, Kenya Aquatics has secured a Ksh. 300,000 sponsorship from ORS, a leading brand under A&Z Nutraceuticals Ltd.

This vital sponsorship will support the organization of the National Age Group Swimming Championship, slated for 22-23 June, 2024, at the Kasarani Aquatic Arena.

The championship is expected to attract around 40 teams from various regions of Kenya, alongside international teams from Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi.

This event will also serve as a trial to select swimmers for the forthcoming international championships, including the 9th Africa Aquatics Zone 3 Swimming Championship, scheduled to take place in Burundi this November.

Dr. Maureen Owiti, President of Kenya Aquatics, expressed her appreciation for the sponsorship, emphasizing its impact on the development of swimming in Kenya.
