Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sport Charles Ramson Jr. addresses the participants at the National Aquatic Centre.

Hundreds of eager parents and children braved the blistering sunshine yesterday as the 2024 edition of the National Sports Commission’s (NSC) Teach Them Young Swimming Programme was launched at the National Aquatic Centre, Liliendaal.

Present at the launch were Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sport, Charles Ramson Jr., and Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle.

In his remarks to the gathering, Ninvalle said that he was happy to see such a large turnout.

“For the last three years, we have been building on something that has been the product of the minister’s vision. This year, we will be adding persons with disabilities to the programme as we seek to expand and be inclusive.”
