all season to be within the range.
The other provinces’ swimmers also had to go through the same rigorous qualifying process for the event to be held in Bulawayo.
“We have times that are already set and our swimmers have to beat or do similar times for them to be selected,” said MASB chairman Eddie Cyprianos.
Ever-outstanding Andresious Cyprianos will captain the boys and good sparring mate Frank Lang will deputise him while water queen Avalon Bruce will captain the girls and her deputy will be the equally good Mieke Koen.
Meanwhile, North End Pool will play host to the Junior League this afternoon where the likes of Christopher Hayes, Denilson Cyprianos and Wandile Banda are some of the stars expected to do well today in preparation for the Junior National Championships set for Harare early this year.
The event is open to swimmers who are 11 years old and under and all seven Matabeleland teams will be in attendance.
This will be the last gala before selections for the junior team are made.
