| We had the opportunity to talk to board member Carina Reyes and Coach Ian Lee who told us about their plans for this weekend as well as the performance of the members particularly at international meets. They are of the opinion that St. Maarten is in the running to have a swimmer represented at the highest level, the Olympics which will be staged in 2012 or 2016. Over the weekend the goal of the swimmers will be to swim as many laps as they possibly can, with the laps being sponsored by corporate sponsors and the fans of the island's young athletes. Three of the swimmers are Nationally ranked in their age group in France. Many of the other swimers have also placed in the top 10 and 5 at international meets such as the Netherlands Antilles Championships that was held last year. More can now be heard via |
