President of the Ghana Swimming Association, Delphina Quaye has expressed her delight at the successful hosting of the maiden edition of the CITI TV National Swimming Championship held at the Burma Camp Sports Complex.
The one day-event took place at the Ghana Armed Forces sports complex and saw over 10 different swim teams compete in different events for medals and the bragging rights.
Speaking to Citi Sports, Delphina Quaye called for more of such events to be organized and believes swimming is gradually emerging as a force to reckon with.
“We’ve been looking for sponsorship for year’s we’ve never been able to get anything like this so for us at GSA this is the best news when Citi said they wanted to host a competition for us. We hope it continues”
she said
“Swimming has a very high potential to grow from where we took off from and what we are seeing now there is big potential” she added
Marlins emerged winners of the competition with 63 medals in total, both in the men’s and women’s category with Legon Sharks Swim Club coming second on the medal table with 41.
