SANTO DOMINGO.- The Dominican Swimming Federation (Fedona) announced that it will hold the IX Dominican Republic International Swim Open & National Championship 2024 from April 5 to 7 of this year, to be held at the Aquatic Center of the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center.

Tavárez maintained that the success of the international tournament has been of such importance since its inception that medalist athletes have wanted to be present, since it provides tickets for other events.

Also the Cubans Laurent Estrada and Lorena González, among other national and international athletes.
