"This win keeps his memories alive with me, it's wonderful, it's what we used to do as children and doing it again in adulthood is just fantastic," said Mghoi.

John Mirii was grateful to Absa head coach Sammy Thianga saying the skills the tactician imparted to him in training aided his victory in men's 26-30 200m IM.

Felix Onyango was grateful to honour Absa with his effort that bore fruits in men's 31-35 50m butterfly, 50m freestyle and 200m IM.

Apart from the women's IM relay, team captain Kongoro also won breast stroke in women's 36-40 age group and another gold in the mixed relay alongside Onyango, Mirii and Njuguna.

The skipper said strategy, lean squad and total commitment delivered them the coveted medals.

"It's the first time that Absa is shattering these splendid records; winning the women's title, men's title and the overall team title are achievements out of this world," said Kongoro.

"We are glad to have made this history, we have been fighting for it for years."

Last season, Absa tied with Central Bank of Kenya in second place behind winners KCB Bank for the team title while their men's team finished second as the women's side ended the champions in third place.
