At the conclusion of the Swimathon competition, Eva Bonde, on behalf of Nautilus Volunteers Association presented a check for 6263 rials and 300/1000 OMR to Dr Maghda Al Hinai and Dr Khoud Al Balushi representing the Children First Association.

Thanks to all of the swimmers and volunteers for a successful fundraising event for Children First Association as it provides care for children from infancy to 18 years of age.
