Excellent! More of our Bahamian youngsters should be swimming. Congratulations to the athletes, coaches, officials and parents. I hope they are acknowledged by the government as well with money or LAND.

Congratulations on a fantastic achievement. Takes me back to when I coached the Freeport Aquatics Club at the YMCA in Freeport and our successes then,

The swimmers did great, the athletes did not do as great as the swimmers and they weren't even congratulated for trying, but the swimmers made front page. Yes we made history with the swimmers, but we must encourage the athletes to do better next time around as they always do good. Its just like a mother telling one child who did well that is great and the other one who did not do so well nothing. We are to encourage our athletes.
