The private school inter-school swimming competition will hold at the Children’s International School.
The Children's International School (CIS), Lekki, Lagos, will host the third match of the fourth Dolphin Swimming League season on Saturday.
The first two legs of the inaugural private school inter-school swimming competition were held at Grange School in Ikeja (CSI), and the best swimmers from the competing schools will congregate at CIS for the third leg, which comes before the season four conclusion of the annual competition.
CIS principal Stewart King said they are ready to welcome all the competitors.
He added that competitions help the pupils imbibe the culture of sportsmanship and leadership.

He said, “It is always a privilege to host such events, but this is particularly the case after a period where, understandably, opportunities for inter-school competitions have been limited.
“Competition amongst schools and pupils is a fundamental part of the education of each child as it imbues qualities such as resilience, sportsmanship, leadership, and teamwork.
“To the teams, best of luck to all of you who have given up your time to train and compete for your schools. Strive hard for yourself and your teammates and be as equally vociferous in your celebration of others’ effort as much as their successes," he said
Meanwhile, the tournament coordinator, Oluseyi Oyebode, explained that the goal of traveling the competition to different schools was to foster camaraderie among the swimmers as well as provide possibilities for the host school to improve their performance.
“We are excited that the tournament continues to grow in leaps and bounds as more schools are coming on board and we believe more are still going to come and be part of it. We are bringing new ideas in the event leg of the tournament and this third leg will not be an exception.
We hope other schools will give Grange a chase for medals this weekend and we look forward to an exciting moment at CIS having hosted the event in the past,” he said.
