Jackson Niyomugabo

Jackson Niyomugabo (born 18 April 1988) is a Rwandan Olympic swimmer.

He grew up swimming in the waters of Lake Kivu on the border between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Niyomugabo's humble background did not afford him opportunities for extensive professional training.

He learned to swim from reading a book provided to him from a high school teacher.

Niyomugabo competed in the 2007 World Aquatics Championship in Australia, although he did not win a medal.
