On the collaboration with SWASAL, Turay said this would be the first of many other partnerships with the sports journalist body adding that both parties will benefit from each other.
“For us it is a great opportunity to work with a major media partner like SWASAL towards the development of the sport and give our discipline the deserved publicity it needs in the country. This partnership with SWASAL will not only stop here but also as an association we will work with SWASAL to improve the knowledge of the sports journalist in the reportage of swimming,” the SLSDWA scribe said.
The Dr. KK Bangura Memorial Swimming championship will be the first ever swimming championship the association will host since Sierra Leone was declared free from Ebola.
