Our African heroes off to Ghana
The competition will take place in Trust Sports Emporium, Accra (Ghana) swimming competitions (50 m) will start 14th CANA African & Junior Swimming Championships from 11 to 16 October. The strongest African swimmers will compete for medals, as well as for the new records.

At the African Championships, our team of FINA Development Center scholarship holders will be represented by seven swimmers. Everyone faces the main task – to make personal bests, break national record, and, of course, fulfill the "B" standard for the 19th FINA World Aquatics Championships, which will be held in Fukuoka, Japan, from 13 – 29 May 2022.

What is more, we decided to ask our athletes what they expect and what results they are set for:

"I expect the competition to be very exciting and being able to swim outdoors would be a change of scenery. I'm also expecting to see some elite African swimmers and hopefully some old friends too. I have a lot of catching up to do with them." - Ronan Wantenaar (Namibia)

"This is the last long course meet of the season. I wish to bring out my best for my country and for my self. I know with the training we have had at FINA development center Kazan great things will happen." - Rabejaona Holy Antsa (Madagascar)
