Several youthful swimmers from Nevis departed the Oualie Pier on Thursday, November 5, en route to St. Kitts, where they joined their Kittitian teammates ahead of their flight to Saint Lucia to compete in the 34th annual OECS Swimming Championships.
Senior Sports Officer on Nevis, Kezron Archibald, wished the athletes bon voyage and encouraged them to represent their country with pride, urging them to serve as true ambassadors for the Federation.
Team coach James Weeks expressed confidence in the squad, noting that the swimmers were in excellent shape ahead of the competition. He said he was optimistic that the team would return with medals while also improving on their personal best times.
Weeks subsequently introduced the members of the team, several of whom addressed the camera to express their readiness for the championships and pledge to give their very best in the pool.
The 2026 OECS Swimming Championships are scheduled for November 6–8 at the Rodney Heights Aquatic Centre in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia, where swimmers from across the region will compete for honours.
