Swimmers from other islands in the Micronesia will be competing in the event along with the invitation to other countries such as Australia, Japan, Philippines and Hong Kong.
Participants in age groups from 12-years old to adults will compete in five individual events to determine the best all-around swimmer in the region. The unique swim meet features the 100m butterfly, 100m backstroke, 100m breaststroke, 100m freestyle and the 200m individual medley.
