4th Annual
Soufriere Open Water Swim Meet a success
The
St. Lucia Amateur Swimming Association (SLASA)
successfully hosted the Fourth Annual Soufriere
Open Water Swimming Challenge at the weekend
in conjunction with the Soufriere Marine Management
Association in the Soufriere Bay.
Anse Chastanet Resort, Jade Mountain and Paradise
Springs were the main sponsors for the event
providing funding for the medals, trophies and
T-Shirts, as well as boat coverage, safety personnel,
kayaks for safety patrols and water to swimmers
and officials.
With over 40 swimmers coming from the ranks
of the competition pool trained athletes from
Castries, an impressive contingent from Vieux
Fort, and swimmers from Soufriere, there was
competition aplenty to entertain the crowd that
came to take in some of the action. There was
a great atmosphere with good representation
by members of Baron’s Drive Youth Organization
in Soufriere, a club run by Felicia Clauzelma.
Public Relation Officer of the SLASA said, “The
Open Water races included a 1 kilometer event
plus the pier-to-pier (100 meters) which provided
the most entertainment with all the swimmers
participating.” He further went on to
say, “All the Castries competitive swimmers
dominated, and the Soufrierians clearly impressed
with most completing the course in respectable
times. The event highlighted the depth of talent
in the coastal towns and the need to provide
programs for these talented athletes”
“During the 1 km event, there were kayaks
for safety cover, and many thanks for the hard
work of all the Kayakers who also ensured that
the swimmers were all accompanied along the
course”. The full results were: - 1 km
