A 21-member Bangladesh swimming team including eight female swimmers accompanied by new Japanese coach Yorikazu Tamayama left here Sunday evening with an aim to adopt with the high altitude of Kathmandu. That is why we send our swimmers too early to adjust with the weather and condition.” said BSF general secretary MB Saif yesterday. Both Saif and Mahadi placed their hopes on the young swimmers, especially – Ariful Islam, Junayna Ahmed and Romana Akter. Ariful and Romana hailed from Kishoreganj’s Nikli, which is considered the hub of budding swimmers, while Junayna is British-bron expatriate swimmers who will join the rest in Nepal later this month. I have experience training at high altitude which I can use to help the swimmers adjust fast.
