Nice to see swimming gaining more popularity in the Caribbean. I've been following this event over the years and every year its taking a new step.
Seems like Bahamas is the new swimming capital of the Caribbean. Link Text

well Caribbean does well in Track and Field and this is a sport that pales in comparison to other worldwide sports. So no difference here twisted

Doesn't pale as much as Swimming. That's the point. So that in itself is a difference. lol

Hey if the region unearths the next superstar in the pool, that's a win all-around. Well done to all the young swimmers.
