New starting blocks installed at Alvalade swimming pool in Luanda will be unveiled on Saturday, Angolan Swimming Federation has announced.

The inauguration will take place on the eve of the start of the National Category Swimming Championships.

This is an unprecedented move at this level, which puts an end to the reinforced concrete blocks of the only Olympic swimming pool in Luanda, built 58 years ago.

The ”national championship” will be held by categories, with 1º de Agosto and Clube Náutico the main candidates to the title.

The athletes will be submitted to four rounds, being two on Saturday and the same number on Sunday.

The event brings together athletes from 1º de Agosto, ADEOA, Clube Náutico, Naval and Onda Sport Club
