We were given the opportunity to visit a private sports club that donated swimming equipment to Nepalese para swimmers who came to Japan for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sports Diplomacy Promotion Project.
At the machine gym, they saw the kids’ dance school held in the studio and expressed their impression that they were "cute". They were also interested in the free weight area, taking dumbbells, and shooting with training members. We also visited a children's swimming school and introduced the system of Japanese swimming schools. In the end, we took a commemorative photo at the lounge and presented a gift. As a gift, I was able to hand over 7 swimsuits, 21 swim caps, and 8 swim goggles provided by Kasai School members.
See below for the Japanese version.

Feedback from Local Contacts :
President of the Nepal Paralympic Swimming Federation Utilizing the skills and experience gained from training in Japan, we held training camps and practice games in Nepal. The players were very pleased to wear the swimming caps, goggles, and swimwear they received. The three athletes who participated in the training in Japan handed the provided equipment directly to the local athletes, and they looked very proud and encouraged them.
