Kuwait holds swimming competition to support cancer awareness campaign

Kuwait organized on Tuesday a swimming competition to support cancer awareness campaign across the country.

The campaign was organized by Kuwait's Cancer Awareness National Campaign (CAN) at Kazmah Sport Club in Capital Governorate under the slogan "Sport is the protection" for several categories, including Paralympic swimming for swimmers with disabilities, kids, and athlete swimmers.

According to Khaled Al-Saleh, CAN board chairman, there is an important link between health awareness and sports, and it is one of the goals the campaign tries to present and spread among society in Kuwait.

The CAN believes that the more a person has a high health awareness, the fewer risk factors he may be exposed to, he added.
