By Phillip CorryUGANDA’s most popular swimming siblings Aya Nakitanda and Joel Kisule will represent the country at the Commonwealth games in Manchester, England in July.Uganda swimming federation (USF) general secretary Simon Mugisha revealed this to The New Vision yesterday. Aya Nakitanda is the younger sister of Joel Kisule.The two national stars go to the games with their shoulders high after shattering national swimming records at the first national time trials in March.“They are undergoing a training at Hotel Equatoria and we feel that they will do well in the games,” USF’s Mugisha added.“Joel has had a abit of exposure, but his sister hasn’t and that is why we are pitting her with male swimmers so that she can improve on her stamina and speed in the pool.”ends
