The Chairman of the swimming section, Akin Onabolu told our correspondent that all was set for the event

Onabolu said: “The swimmers will compete across the four strokes, different race distances and Individual Medley (IM) events. This gives the coaches a broad view of each swimmer’s development rather than simply looking at performance in one event.

“We are looking forward to seeing stronger performance, a number of personal bests and time drops across the different categories, as well as swimmers taking the next step in their development within the IC Marlins squad.

“The time trials are about more than just the times on the clock. It is about helping every swimmer understand their progress, build confidence, develop a competitive mindset and continue moving towards their full potential.”
