“We are so excited with the overwhelming support we have been getting from the Nigeria Aquatics Federation, Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC) and the Lagos State Swimming Association, which culminated in the success of the maiden edition and now schools have realized that what we are doing will help their wards hence we now have more schools coming on board,” Oyebode said.
