CHANNEL ONE SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIP: Legon Sharks emerge as overall winners

The second edition of the Channel One TV National Swimming Championship has produced a new winner with Legon Sharks emerging as the overall best performing team in the two-day competition.

The 2024 edition of the championship took place at the Borteyman Sports Complex with over 150 swimmers representing eight swimming clubs in Ghana compete across Under 10, Under 13 and 14 and over age categories this weekend.

After two days of intense competition, the Legon Sharks produced a chart topping series of performances to win 179 medals in all to emerge as winners.

Legon knocked 2023 winners Marlins Swim Club off the top spot to third place with the hitherto defending champions winning 137 medals after fielding a relatively smaller group of swimmers compared to last year’s edition.

GH Dolphins finished the competition in second place after winning 170 medals combined from representatives in the male and female categories.

The Best Male Team went to the Legon Sharks with Marlins and Aquatic Masters coming in second and third place respectively while GH Dolphins topped the female category with Marlins and Aquatic Masters filling out the second and third spots respectively.
