Inside Homabay’s Growing Sports Culture: From Pools to Skate Parks (and Bike Lanes)

Homabay is quickly becoming more than just a lakeside town—it’s turning into a hub for sports, fitness, and active lifestyles. What was once limited to casual football games has now expanded into organized swimming competitions, vibrant skateboarding communities, and even the rise of cycling and triathlon training. The shift is inspiring children, youth, and families to embrace healthier and more engaging activities right here in our county.

Swimming: Making Waves in Homabay

Swimming has taken center stage as one of Homabay’s fastest-growing sports. With local galas, school competitions, and clubs like Homabay Aquatics, young athletes are getting exposure to both competitive swimming and essential water safety skills. Parents are beginning to see swimming not just as recreation, but as a life skill and a pathway to discipline, health, and confidence.

The Skating Boom

Skating has captured the hearts of many kids and teens in Homabay. With skate coaches and informal park setups, children are discovering new ways to express themselves, build balance, and stay active. Skating events are bringing youth together in safe, fun spaces while also fostering creativity and community spirit.

Cycling and Triathlon: The Next Frontier

As cycling gains momentum across Kenya, Homabay is not being left behind. More families are investing in bikes, and weekend rides are becoming common. Combined with swimming and running, triathlon is slowly making its way into the region. This sport is particularly exciting for young athletes as it offers variety, endurance, and the chance to compete on bigger stages nationally and internationally.

The Role of Schools and the Community

Schools in Homabay are playing a big part in nurturing this sports culture by including swimming, skating, and athletics in their extracurricular activities. Meanwhile, community clubs and local organizations are creating opportunities for kids to train, compete, and connect. Parents, too, are stepping in—supporting their children through encouragement, resources, and participation.
