Fatshimetrie, August 8, 2024 – A high-potential sports initiative has recently emerged in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Indeed, a renowned swimming club, Dauphin International, has announced the launch of its recruitment program targeting passionate and talented young swimmers under the age of 17. This approach is part of an ambitious vision to create a breeding ground for promising talent, intended to ensure a bright future for the club.
Located in the lively commune of Limete, the swimming pool on 10th industrial street is the place chosen to welcome these young hopefuls of Congolese swimming. The press release published by Dauphin International invites all interested young people to join this sporting and training adventure, emphasizing the importance of supervising young people in the development of a sporting discipline as demanding as swimming.
This breeding ground for talent will constitute a secondary team of the club, benefiting from attentive and professional supervision. The young recruits will be immersed in an intensive training program, combining theoretical and practical work, all supervised by recognized experts in the field. The objective is clear: to allow these young swimmers to progress, learn the basics of swimming and perfect their technique, with a view to proudly representing Dauphin International on the national and international sports scene.
This is how the future of Congolese swimming is taking shape, with budding talents who could well take over within the club’s senior team. Dauphin International has long been a breeding ground for sporting talent, having notably provided remarkable athletes to the national team, such as Aristote Apelenga and Divine Minsiadi, who brilliantly represented the DRC at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
This initiative to recruit young swimmers thus promises to strengthen the club’s position on the national and international sports scene, while offering swimming enthusiasts in Kinshasa a unique opportunity to train, improve and fully live their passion for this exhilarating aquatic sport. Thus, in the lapping of the water and the momentum of budding swimmers, a bright future is emerging for Congolese swimming, driven by the passion, talent and commitment of all those who aspire to push the limits of their aquatic performance.
