Mazhar Naqvi, who represented Pakistan in the World Swimming Championship and Ghulam Muhammad, who has featured in several international competitions are star attractions in the open category. International Saad Amin and Hasan Paracha will be battling for top honours in junior category.
The Open category Swimmers will be able to compete in only four events as compared to juniors, who can compete in four open and as many age group events. This may lead to disparity in the selection of Group Champions for overall performance in the championship.
