The event was a great opportunity for Papua New Guinea's young athletes to shine on a national level, and they did not disappoint. The competition was a testament to the passion and commitment of the athletes, coaches, and organizers who worked hard to make it a success. Awards were given to swimmers who performed in the different age categories during the two-day event.
The Theodist PNG National Swimming Championships was not just a competition but also a celebration of Papua New Guinea's rich sporting culture. The event was a great opportunity for these talented swimmers to demonstrate their skills and talent on a national level, and we look forward to seeing them represent Papua New Guinea in future competitions.
Congratulations to all the participants and winners who made this event a success.
