World Aquatics and the Bahrain Olympic Committee today announced plans to create a centre of excellence and regional office for aquatic sports in the Kingdom of Bahrain, in partnership with GFH Financial Group and the Bahrain Swimming Federation. This partnership will see World Aquatics establish its centre at The University of Technology Bahrain (UTB). World Aquatics’ elite athletes will have access to the centre, enabling them to enhance their training capabilities. Development athletes will also have access to the new facility, where they will receive on-site coaching and educational support through World Aquatics’ Development programmes.
