Swim competition for elementary school to high school students in September Swimming Federation New Corona May 14 1:42
As a substitute for the competition in which junior athletes participated, the Japan Swimming Federation has decided to hold a competition in each prefecture for elementary school students to high school students in September, as a substitute for the competition in which junior athletes participated due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection. I decided.
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, there have been a series of cancellations of competitions in which junior athletes participated, such as the national high school overall and the national junior Olympic Cup summer tournament scheduled for this summer.
In response to this, the Japan Swimming Federation held a swimming competition for elementary school students to high school students in September, based on the premise of ensuring safety, at the executive board meeting held in Tokyo on the 12th. I decided to open it in a prefecture.
It means that the records of the tournament will be aggregated and compiled into a national ranking.
Some people said that the reason why the Japan Swimming Federation is holding is that it is necessary for athletes who aim to go on to higher education by recommending sports etc. to have an opportunity to leave results at national competitions, and the next goal for junior athletes who will be the next generation. I am trying to get them.
The Japan Swimming Federation is considering ways to deal with diving and water polo in the future.
