The Kuwaiti delegation.

AHMEDABAD, India, and Sept 27: Kuwait will take part in the 11th Asian Aquatics Championships, which open today in Ahmedabad, India, and run through early October.

The delegation includes national coach Sultan Al-Otaibi alongside swimmers Saud Al-Shamroukh, Mohammed Al-Otaibi, and Khalid Al-Otaibi.

The participation reflects Kuwait’s commitment to showcasing its sporting talent on the continental stage and raising the national flag at one of Asia’s biggest aquatic events.

The Asian Aquatics Federation, during its executive meeting held last May in Kuwait, confirmed India as host of this year’s championships, which feature swimming, water polo, diving, and artistic swimming with teams from across the continent.

Sheikh Khaled Al-Badr Al-Sabah, President of both the Kuwait and Asian Swimming Federations, described the championship as a significant platform for Asian athletes to demonstrate their abilities. He stressed the importance of regularly organizing such events to advance aquatics in Asia and strengthen ties among the continent’s athletes.
