Comprising Sean Odera in backstroke, Antony Oketch in breaststroke, Joshua Isige in butterfly, and Sammy Miguda in freestyle, the team showcased remarkable synergy and skill. Their hard work paid off as they finished in an impressive second place, earning the silver medal for their outstanding effort.
