Seals, Dolphins dominate Seals Invitational
Jul 10, 2017
Daya Yalonda who is arguably the most improved swimmer in the side topped the girls’ 11-12 years category
Seals Swim Club girls again made the difference helping their side win the Seals Invitational Swimming Championships at Kampala Parents School on Sunday.
Just like they did at the club championships last month, the girls were in top form collecting 735 points of the 1,101 that won them the third edition of the Centenary Bank sponsored event.
Apart from the 10 and under category that was won by White Heather (75pts), who competed as an individual and relegated Seals' Neema Kangi (49pts) to second place, it was all about the Seals in other categories.

Dolphins' Kirabo Namutebi and Swagia Mubiru were first and second runners up with 76 and 46 points respectively in the 13-14 while Nicole Lutalo and Makerere University's Molly Kandiho were the runners up in the 15&over.

Senkebe (66pts) were also on top of the 10&under and the 15&over in the boys' categories where White Rueben and Dolphins' Adnan Kabuye also stared in the 11-12 and the 13-14 categories respectively.
The two clubs dominated the four-day championship with Dolphins dominating the boys' categories with a combined 822 points, with Pendo Kaumi, Jordan Ssamula, Raphael Sine, Darren Ssamula, Ben Kaganda, Elisha Tibatemwa and Tendo Mukalazi giving a good account of themselves.
The Musenze's, Carlton, Christian and Christopher of the Seals as well as Alexis Kituuka, Zara Nsubuga, Sanyu Kagugube and Joy Alande also performed well.
Molly Kandiho and Faith Ejang stood out for Makerere University who finished third overall.
