Ikoyi Club 1938 Hosts Time Trials for Young Swimmers

More than 100 young swimmers from the Ikoyi Club 1938 Swimming Section are set to compete in the Categorisation Time Trials 1 (CTT1) at the National Stadium, Lagos, on October 10 and 11, 2026. This two-day event is a crucial assessment point in the club's 2026/27 training programme, allowing coaches to evaluate swimmers' progress across different categories.

Activities will commence at 10 am on both days, with participants competing in all four swimming strokes, various race distances, and Individual Medley (IM) events. Akin Onabolu, Chairman of the Ikoyi Club Swimming Section, expressed optimism about the trials, emphasizing that the focus will be on tracking individual improvement rather than just determining winners.

The trials will also help swimmers experience competitive conditions, assess their race preparation, and build confidence for future competitions. Onabolu noted that the event is designed to aid swimmers in understanding their progress and developing a competitive mindset.
