    The Schools Annual National Swimming Finals has been cancelled.

    The event was cancelled due to the restrictions in place and also for the well-being of the swimmers.

    The committee has been having thorough discussions on the plans for the future of the competition.

    Fiji School Swimming has produced some talented young swimmers like Moana Wind.

    The competition cancelled provides the opportunity for the committee to strategize.

    More schools will be invited to participate once everything normalises.
