Thirteen young swimmers of the Malolo Swimming Club in Nuku'alofa departed for Fiji this afternoon to compete in a one day LC Grand Prix Series on Saturday, February 23.

Coach Sue Sadler said the team will compete against six Fijian swimming clubs in four individual races and two relays at the Damodar Aquatic Centre, in Suva.

"They have never competed in relays before and most of the swimmers have never competed in a 50-metre pool or been in a competition before," she said.

The team who range from age nine to 16 years are expected to return to Tonga on Monday, February 25.
