We have the lake as a natural swimming pool and we believe there are so many young people who are talented hence I urge MAU and stakeholders to conduct talent identification exercise so that we can help them develop professionally.”
The minister added that with proper professional training rendered to natural swimmers, the country will have a pool of professionals that will put Malawi on the map at continental and global levels.
He therefore expressed government’s commitment and financial support towards swimming by pledging that all national competitions will be taking place at the Aquatic Complex which recently hosted Region 5 games
