The Uganda swimming federation (USF) will send a team of 51 athletes to the 8th edith of the Africa Aquatics Zone 3 championships slated for Kigali, Rwanda between November 23rd to 26th 2023.
Uganda has entered 106 individual females and 155 individual males entries to a total of 261 individual entries, while for relay entries are only 16 and will be represented in the 12 and Under years, 13-14 years, 15-16 years, 17 and over years and masters categories.
Looking at the Uganda athletes traveling to the Africa Aquatics Zone 3 championship the team will make the country proud as they seek to churn a new crop of swimmers.
Uganda swimmers will face off Burundi, Tanzania, host nation Rwanda and Team Kenya who are coming back into the fray just days after having the World Aquatics ban lifted and last year they competed at the Zone 3 championships under a neutral flag at the 7th edition held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Uganda’s threat at this year’s edition is Kenya whom we all know that they are a big swimming nation in the region and on the continent and there coming back they want to reclaim their top place.
