From Bandari Swim Club in Mombasa to Thika Swim Academy, now under the guidance of ASCA certified Coach Charles Nyasae, his journey is defined by discipline, growth and quiet determination.

200m backstroke and 400m individual medley are his favorite events and continues to lower his times with every meet signaling steady progress.

After representing Kenya at the 10th Africa Aquatics Zone 3 Swimming Championship in Kasarani last year, he now sets his sights on Kampala, Uganda for another chance to wear the national colors.

Focus now — the Kenya Aquatics National Long Course Swimming Championship (29–31 May 2026, Kasarani Aquatic Arena). A stage where the country’s best and top regional swimmers will meet.

Eyes on personal bests. Eyes on the future.
