Dolphin swimming league thrills parents, guardians

Students diving into the pool at the Dolphin Swimming League, which ended in Lagos… at the weekend.

Nigeria’s first private inter-school swimming competition, Dolphin Swimming League, has continued to thrill parents and guardians, who admitted the tournament has been impressive since its inception four years ago.

“Being our first time participating in this competition, we just want to first of all participate because it’s very key to us and we have been able to win one or two medals but our number one objective was to come and participate and be among the elite athletes.

because this age group competition is the foundation and we must support it to make it grow to get to the level we can compete globally.”      For the head of Elementary School, Grange, Alisa Griffiths, there must be conscious efforts to provide sports facilities in schools across Nigeria.     “There is a need for full commitment from education organisations, finance sector and sporting bodies to provide facilities, training opportunities for coaches to develop so many Nigerians interested in swimming and to provide as much exposure on wider platforms as possible to compete heavily with countries in the Olympic sports,” she said.
