Kenyan swimmers will be out to extend their dominance in this year's Federation of East Africa Secondary School Games that begin in Gulu, Uganda, on Saturday.

They will be defending the overall title after dominating the East Africa pools for years. Safaricom Sports Personality of the Year (girl's category) Hadassah Gichovi will lead her compatriots as they plunge into the new swimming pool at St Joseph's Layibi School.

Gichovi's coach Lydia Musei expressed confidence in the Kenyan swimmers, saying they had what was needed to retain the title. "Gichovi is ready to lead from the front. I have also interacted with other swimmers and I believe they are in good form."
