H20 Lions roared to success at the Rodney Heights Aquatic Centre (RHAC) swimming competition in St. Lucia from April 9-12.
The team stood tall among more than 30 participating teams from across the region, including two other teams representing St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Representing the team were the following swimmers:
8 and under girls and boys: Aimee Dennie, Seth Dennie and Trey Forde
9-10 girls and boys – Tezza Sutherland, Calique Grant, Shamar Marksman, Deshawn Johnson and Niall Allen
11-12 girls and boys – J’Nyah and Kmar Rose, Ezron Quashie and Tyler Forde
13-14 boys – Kyle De Roche
In a weekend filled with fierce competition, the youthful Lions proved that age is no barrier to achievement, clocking a string of new personal best times across nearly every event.
While the team did not place among the top 10 positions, their results were nothing short of inspiring. Over 80% of the swimmers shattered their previous personal times, showcasing the club’s growing strength and steady improvement. Each dive reflected the Lion’s confidence, hard work and unshakable team spirit.
Head coach Josel Williams expressed tremendous pride in the team’s accomplishments.
“This was an incredible experience for our swimmers. Competing at this level, against seasoned athletes, and still produce so many personal best times shows how far we have come. As a young swim team in the competition, we have every reason to be proud,” the team said in a press conference.
H20 Lions continue to emphasise both physical and character development, producing swimmers who embody sportsmanship, strength and pride.
