Barbados Swimmers Shine at Championships | Barbados News

Barbados’ swim team stormed the podium at the 30th Goodwill Swimming Championships in Trinidad, claiming 15 gold, 20 silver, and 23 bronze medals — a stellar showing that proved grit over glory. Team manager Stacy Blunt praised the athletes’ relentless effort, even as medal totals dipped slightly from last year. The event served as a crucial talent scout for next April’s CARIFTA Games, with swimmers aged eight to seventeen competing across categories. Standouts like Ziya Philips, who smashed personal bests in all seven of her events, and rising stars Liam Courtenay, Darren Anka, and Amaya Harrison, lit up the pool with podium finishes. Now back home, these young champions dive back into training, eyes set on interschool meets, national championships, and qualifying heats in Trinidad and Jamaica. With strong coaching and a track record of international success, Barbados swimming is poised for an explosive future.
