SLASA 3rd “Go the Distance” Swim Meet this Sunday

After staging a successful 2009 calendar of activities, placing second to Grenada at the OECS Swimming championship, and on the way copped a number of regional and international medals, the St. Lucia Amateur Swimming Association (SLASA) will splash off its 2010 calendar of events in grand style when it stages its first Development Meet at the Rodney Heights Aquatic Centre in the north of the island on Sunday 14th February.
Public Relations Officer of the SLASA Dr. Christopher Beaubrun says Sunday’s meet has been Dubbed the 3rd Annual Go The Distance Developmental Meet, it encompasses Masters swimming alongside Age Group Swimming. It is a developmental meet designed to encourage all swimmers to participate in distance events according to their level of swimming.

 
 

Beaubrun went on to say, the SLASA has prepared an annual program where the local clubs and national swimmers have regular schedules to factor into their training program for this year.
For the many swimming enthusiasts coming to lend their support on Sunday the SLASA has specially arranged time trials aimed particularly at swimmers trying to achieve 2010 Carifta qualifying times.
Interestingly four of the island’s top clubs namely, RHAC Sharks Swim Club, Sea Jays Swim Club, Sea Hawks Swim Club and the ever growing Southern Flying Fish Swim Club with well over 160 swimmers out of Vieux Fort under the watchful eyes of Head Coach Andy Edwards is expected to turn on the heat in a number of events slated for the day.
Meanwhile, the St.Lucia Amateur Swimming Association is currently preparing its elite Carifta squad for the Carifta games slated for Jamaica and its senior athletes for the Caribbean Island Swimming Championships in Cuba later this year.
