The National Sports Commission’s (NSC) Learn to Swim programme ended yesterday at the National Aquatic Centre to rave reviews by Director of Sport (DoS) Steve Ninvalle and president of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) Godfrey Munroe.
Ninvalle spoke of the huge turnout of the programme for both adults and children pointing out that in April at the children’s `Learn to Swim’ programme, there were over 2000 registrants and a further 3000 for the June/July adult programme.
Describing the large turnout as “meteoric,” Ninvalle, who is also president of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) stated that while he did not envisage such a meteoric rise of the programme, he was nonetheless quite proud of what was achieved.
