LAGOS HOSTS "DEEP DIVE & LIVELY SPLASH TIME" - A Friendly Swimming Competition for School-Aged Swimmers and Celebration of Lagos Swim Mums and Dads

The Lagos State Sports Commission is set to host "Deep Dive & Lively Splash Time," a swimming fiesta scheduled for Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at the newly renovated Rowe Park Swimming Pool in Yaba. The event will feature friendly swimming competitions for school-aged athletes under 15 years, while celebrating the steadfast dedication of Lagos swim mums and dads who form the bedrock of the state’s aquatics development.

This event marks a significant milestone in Lagos State's sports development agenda, serving as the soft re-launch of the Rowe Park Swimming Pool. Extensive renovations have transformed the facility into a modern aquatics centre that meets international standards. 

The upgraded infrastructure demonstrates the commitment of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu's administration to providing facilities that match global benchmarks, ensuring Lagos athletes can train and compete at the h

ighest levels within the state.

Director General of the Lagos State Sports Commission, Lekan Fatodu, stated, "It's a big splash reinforcement of the Lagos State Sports Commission's mandate to promote mass participation in sports in Lagos and demonstrate the suitability of Lagos' sporting landspace for multi-sports."

The Lagos State Sports Commission extends an invitation to all stakeholders in the education, sports, and youth development sectors to attend "Deep Dive & Lively Splash Time" and witness firsthand the progress being made in Lagos aquatics.
