Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Eswatini National Swimming Team yesterday left the country for the World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.<\/b><\/p>\n

Eswatini Swimming Association elected the team of Chadd Nigg, Simanga Dlamini, Siwakhile Dlamini and Hayley Hoy to represent Eswatini in the championships. The swimmers are led by Welcome Nhlabatsi, their Coach alongside Nozipho Mahlalela, who is the Team Manager. \u201cWe have no doubt that our swimmers will perform to the best of their abilities. They have put in a lot of effort in preparing for the world championships,\u201d said the team mananger.<\/p>\n

The 2023 World Aquatics Championships will be held in the period July 23-30, 2023 at the Marine Messe. At least 42 events will be held. Up to 47 gold medals and possibly two of the world\u2019s longest-standing records will be up for grabs when the swimming competition takes centre stage. United States (US) dominated the swimming events at last year\u2019s world championships, leaving Budapest with more than double the medals of the next most successful team, Australia. But while USA\u2019s world roster is once again packed with top names, including seven-time Olympic champion Katie Ledecky, nothing is guaranteed.<\/p>\n
