SWIMMING – Making Waves in North-Western Province!
We’ve added open-water swimming to our growing family of community sports, bringing an exciting new sporting opportunity to North-Western Province!
From a fun, 200m PFD-assisted swim for beginners and families to a challenging 6km endurance swim for experienced athletes, our inaugural Solwezi Mine Dam Open Water Swim exceeded expectations, attracting enthusiastic swimmers of different ages and abilities.
Safety was at the heart of the event, with comprehensive procedures in place to ensure everyone could enjoy the experience with confidence.
Beyond the competition, the event was about building confidence in open water, encouraging participation and introducing a new sporting discipline to our community. It also provided experienced swimmers with an opportunity to test their endurance in a challenging natural environment.
With such an encouraging response to our first event, we look forward to growing open-water swimming in the region and welcoming even more swimmers to the water.
Our next event is planned for October 2027, just before the summer heat really sets in. Whether you’re dipping your toes into open water for the first time or taking on the full 6km challenge, there’s a distance for you!
In North-Western Province, we’re making waves!
