It was all joy as Kenyan swimmers yesterday returned from CANA Zone Four swimming championships in Mauritius.

The jubilant swimmers were ecstatic at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport as they joined traditional dancers who were at hand to welcome them. Despite finishing fourth overall, the Kenyan swimmers were all smiles having bagged 30 medals (11 gold, 11 silver and eight bronze).
