Africa-Press<\/a> – Rwanda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Rwanda Swimming Federation (RSF) has announced the establishment of a comprehensive talent detection process in the sporting discipline.

The swimming pool will be run by a group of businesses which will be also open to the public, who will pay to swim. Girimbabazi has unveiled plans to overhaul the sport in Rwanda with the introduction of new tournaments and setting up development programs for next year.<\/p>\n

She further said that the new competitions are mainly aimed at talent detection, making the sport accessible to all and introducing youngsters to professional swimming at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n

The swimming body official also revealed that Rwanda\u2019s Open Water Swimming Championship will be staged in Rubavu and Muhazi, tentatively in November. Another competition, the Special Holiday Youth Championship will be held in December at Cercle Sportif de Kigali and is only designed for U-21 swimmers.<\/p>\n
