16th Africa Junior Swimming: Team Nigeria camp swells as swimmers from U.K, Dubai, join

Posted : 30 April 2025

The spirit of the swimmers for the 16th Africa Junior Swimming Championship, being held in Egypt, has been lifted as swimmers from the United Kingdom and Dubai joined others already in camp.


Recall that Team Nigeria has arrived in Egypt for the 16th Africa Junior Swimming Championship, scheduled to take place from Wednesday to Saturday.


The team, consisting of 14 swimmers — eight boys and six girls — is led by the President and Secretary General of the Nigeria Aquatic Federation (NAF), Taiwo Oriss and Chinonye Aliyu, respectively.


Yellow Yeiyah, head coach of the team, his assistant Labake Oriretan, and some parents of the swimmers are also part of the delegation.


Earlier, Aliyu stated that the continental championship would serve as preparation for the 2026 Youth Olympics in Senegal.


“We have been training in Lagos for over two weeks with seven swimmers. Now we are joined by some swimmers based in Dubai and the United Kingdom.


“We have received great support from the National Sports Commission (NSC), and we are hopeful of returning home with medals.


“This tournament serves as preparation ahead of the Youth Olympics in Senegal in 2026,” she said.
