The open tournament was schedule for the month of March and April with the hope that the current state of the country regarding the Ebola virus would have faded, but with little improvement, the SLSDWA scribe is still confident the tournament could be staged in either late March or April.
According to Turay, this is a very important year for them because they must compete in several championships in order to meet the qualifying standard for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in Brazil.
” our swimmers have already missed the World championship in Qatar due to the Ebola outbreak but with the 2014 competition calendar now closed we must ensure we compete in other championship this year including the Africa competition in April,” he said.
