The Bring It Swim Team proudly brought home 3 silver medals from the Bayview Pirates Swim Meet in Barbados this past weekend!
Teadrian Tross (9-10 age category) placed 2nd in the 100m freestyle, 50m freestyle as well as in the 50m breaststroke.
The team of six swimmers competed in multiple events, including the 100m freestyle, 50m freestyle, 50m breaststroke, 50m butterfly, 50m backstroke, and the 100m individual medley (IM). They also joined forces with St. Kitts’ Blue Marlin Swimming Academy for the relays, gaining valuable experience in preparation for the upcoming OECS Championships in November.
Every swimmer achieved several personal bests — a testament to their hard work, determination, and the leadership of Head Coach James Weekes. Special thanks also goes to Coach Annelise Leibbrandt for her valuable support to the team in the preparation leading up to the competition.
