Primary schools from Lagos and its environs will take centre stage at the Ikoyi Club’s swimming pools when the Zenith Inter-School Swimming Competition returns on Saturday.

It is the seventh edition of the competition, which this year will feature 15 schools.

Looking forward to a successful competition, Chairman, Ikoyi Club’s Swimming Section, Ikedichi Kanu, said: “We are all set for it and registration has been in process in the past weeks. The kids will have fun and we will be glad to see how they will display their skills in the competition.”

The Group Managing Director of Zenith Bank, Ebenezer Onyeagwu, has advised all participants to take advantage of the event to hone their skills.

“A journey of one thousand miles starts with just a step. We expect these kids to launch their careers with this competition and get better in the years ahead.

“We are always passionate about staging youth sports events so that we can make an impact in the career of young ones.”

Grange School emerged champions in the Primary and Secondary school events of the competition last year.
