On Saturday, the Lithuanian Student Swimming Championships took place at the Žalgiris Arena pool, which stood out this year for its record number of participants and fantastic atmosphere. The pool was filled with excitement and passion, and the spectators gathered in the stands actively cheered on their university teams, creating a true festive atmosphere.
