THE president of the Zimbabwe Aquatic Union, Mary Kloppers, is hopeful they will be able to start their new season in time, despite the challenges paused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The swimming season usually runs from September to April.
“We have taken a positive approach and planned the season as usual. We will work around Covid lockdowns, if and when, they do occur,” said Kloppers.
There are a number of major competitions for the upcoming season, such as the Africa Junior and Senior Championships, as well as the World Short Course.
“Our plans are to send a team to the Africa Senior and Junior Championships that are being combined this year.
‘’We also intend sending a team to the World Short Course in Abu Dhabi, in December.
“Currently, we are also cooperating with the Sports Commission, in order to submit a team to represent swimming at the Region V Games in Lesotho, also in December.
“We hope to stage the national championships this season.
“The Zone IV Championships will be held virtually this year,’’ said Kloppers.
