Nécrologie : le Sénégal perd sa championne de natation, Marième Soda Camara
The Senegalese sporting world is in mourning. Marième Soda Camara, one of the greatest figures in national swimming, passed away on Monday, September 28, 2026.

Better known as "Coach Soda," this native of Gorée Island was an exceptional athlete with a remarkable record. A seven-time consecutive Senegalese swimming champion, she also won the legendary Dakar-Gorée crossing five times, one of the country's most demanding open water swimming competitions. A respected swimming instructor, she embodied rigor, excellence, and a passion for aquatic sports for decades.
Beyond the competitive pool, Marième Soda Camara was a builder of generations, notably contributing to the popularization of aquagym as a tool for health and well-being. She mentored numerous personalities, including the comedian Kouthia and the stylist Diouma Dieng Diakhaté, who today pay her a heartfelt tribute.
