Among the counties in attendance as of Friday are: Nairobi, Kiambu, Mombasa, Laikipia, Uasin Gishu, Nyeri, Kisumu and Machakos.
With more than 1,000 entries confirmed, last year’s defending champions Braeburn School find themselves in a tough spot as they will face stiff competition from prominent clubs such as Seahorses Aquatics, who embarked on an intensive three-week training camp in Machakos in readiness for the two-day event.
Other notable schools participating include: Mombasa Aquatics, Torpedoes Swimming Club, Crawford School, Swift Kids, Bandari, Otters, Blue Ocean and Sailfish.
The event is expected to act as a qualifier for this year’s 9th Africa Aquatics Zone Three Swimming Championships, and the World Aquatics Swimming Championships in Burundi and Budapest respectively.
The championship has also secured backing from a number of sponsors and partners, including: Yingfa Swimwear, Optiven Real Estate, Zetech University, Genesis Sports Limited, Avenue Healthcare, TW Solar and M&E Sportswear.
