Visually impaired swimmers go to the World's Championship

Osman Çullu, the national coach for the Turkish disabled swimming team, said visually impaired athletes would be among the squad representing Turkey at the World Swimming Championships for the Disabled to be held in South Africa in November. Çullu said it was the first time visually impaired swimmers from Turkey would take part in an international tournament following a selection process to whittle down the hopefuls.

Çullu stated that a total of 12 athletes would be selected for the national team, four out of whom will be competing in the visually impaired category. The squad will undertake a 15-day training camp at Konya where the final selections will take place.
