Parents and Coaches,
We at Crawford Swimming World will like to appreciate you immensely for supporting the dreams of our young swimmers in Nigeria. You are a rare gem.
The swim event will see Age grade swimmers from 7 to 10 years compete for medals and awards within a friendly environment. The competition will hold at the 20 meters swimming pool of the Orchid Hotel, Lekki.
The objective of this swim competition is to develop a compendium of Age-grade swimming records for Nigerian children. This swim records will be available online, where possible local and international scholarship boards will leverage on to award deserving kids in Nigeria.
The Nigerian Swimming records online portal ( www.swimrecordsng.com ) will remain free, simple and easy to access for parents or swim schools to compare their swimmer’s time and to better understand how your swimmer compares to other swimmers in their age grade.
This is indeed a competition that we believe will bring our young stars to the World.
