After a lapse of nearly ten years, former national reps from the 1980s to 2000 are expected to converge this hour in Suva.

The reunion is part of an attempt by former members of the Dolphin Amateur Swimming Club to get the club up and running.

According to former member and coach Sharon Pickering Smith, the club has seen people with the likes of the Probert family and the Pratt family who came through the ranks and represent Fiji at regional and international meets winning medals and setting records at the South Pacific Games.

Swimmers also represented Fiji at the Commonwealth and Olympic Games plus other regional events.

The Reunion is happening at the Suva Olympic Pool.
