Within the scope of the project, in addition to Turkish participants, swimmers, coaches and families from Croatia, Malta and Serbia, Ukraine and Bulgaria also participated in the event and created an international sports festival. After the athletes, coaches and referees walked on the pool deck, the swimmers took their places with the opening speech. After the first diving session, the winners were presented their medals by the Consul General of the Republic of Croatia in Istanbul, Dr. Ivana Zerec, and the Director of the EU Relations Department, Ali DOĞANAY.

Once again, a message of sports for everyone was given.
