Ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games – the Hong Kong China Long Course Swimming Invitational Trial 2 was held on 15-16/5/2024 at the Hong Kong Sports Institute.
HWI-SCA sent a large number of swimmers to compete in this meet. Many swimmers were relatively inexperienced in racing HKGSA meets, and so could use this competition to learn. A good number of swimmers achieved medal places and Top 8.

HWI Swim Team (SCAA) sent 60 swimmers to participate in this well organized and friendly meet, mainly from our Development squads. It was a good chance for younger swimmers to have a go at multiple events, including some 200m events. A few other HWI swimmers were competing too, representing their school teams. There was an ‘international’ feel to the competition as several teams from overseas entered, from Beijing, Tokyo, and the Philippines.
