St. Saviour’s School, Ikoyi and Grange School, Ikeja, at the weekend, amassed 1,121.5 and 1,335 points respectively, across the four legs of the season six of the Dolphin Swimming League to top the elementary and secondary school categories.

At the award ceremony held in Lagos, St Saviour’s School reaffirmed its dominance in the elementary division, finishing ahead of Grange School and Children’s International School, who placed second and third respectively.

In the secondary school category, Grange School took top honours, thanks in part to standout performances from Aidan Demuje-Abili and Chioma Kanu. Children’s International School and Greensprings School followed in second and third positions respectively.

In the club division, Boken Aquatics of Lagos swept both the elementary and secondary schools’ titles, just as Zoe Adeyemi of Riverbank School and Temilayo Onabolu of Corona School were named Discoveries of the Year in the girls’ and boys’ categories respectively.

St Saviour’s also received the Most Organised Team award, while Riverbank School and Lagos Preparatory and Secondary School were honoured with Fair Play Awards.

The Best Productive Coach awards went to Nkechi Modupeola Ofonedu of St Saviour’s School and Alade Ebimowei Simon of Grange School.

Speaking at the award ceremony, president of the Nigeria School Sport Federation (NSSF), Olabisi Joseph, praised the league’s consistency and its role in talent development:

“I am thrilled to be part of this award ceremony for the first time. The performance of these young swimmers, both nationally and internationally, is truly inspiring. Some of them even outperformed established athletes at the recent National Sports Festival. I commend the parents, guardians, and schools for their continued support, and I applaud Dynaspro Sports Promotion Limited for their unwavering commitment to this competition.”
