Sincere congratulations to our incredible Sharks team, which includes two world champions! Keep making waves and inspiring our young talent!
An incredible number of nine Masters swimmers represented the colours of our club in the World Aquatics Masters Championships in Doha, two in open water and seven in the pool competition.
Thereby, the Sharks team was Luxembourg’s largest delegation in Doha. While for several of our swimmers this was the first experience on the world stage, others are already experienced in the scene. Following extensive preparation under the lead of our exceptional Olympic head coach Jabrane Touili, all athletes performed extremely well pushing their personal boundaries in their individual races and as a team in the relays. Some outstanding results were achieved:
