The H20 Lions Swim Academy of Questelles represented St. Vincent and the Grenadines at the Sonia O’Neal Memorial Invitational Swimming Competition held in Barbados from May 21–24.
Swimmers Tezza Sutherland, competing in the girls’ 9-10 age category, alongside Ezron Quashie and Tyler Forde, who swam in the boys’ 11–12 division, represented the academy.
Head Coach Josel Williams and Assistant Coach Elise Quashie accompanied the team.
The event, hosted by the Barbados Aquatic Sports Association, brought together talented young swimmers from across the region in competitive action and sportsmanship.
“Despite encountering a few challenges along the way, the young swimmers demonstrated remarkable determination, courage, and resilience in the pool,” a press release said.
“Several of the events contested were new experiences for the athletes, but each competitor rose to the occasion with confidence and enthusiasm. Their hard work and commitment paid off, as all three swimmers achieved personal best times during the meet.”
Beyond the results, the competition also served as a valuable learning experience for the coaches, who embraced the opportunity to expand their knowledge and further develop their skills.
