Lara then took over the reins to crush the opposition in the 400m IM with a gold medal winning performance of 4:56.29 and yet another CIASA record. Less than 10mins later she took to the blocks for the 100m...

Friend of Cayman Swimming, Caitlin McClatchey (aka The Fairy Princess!), raced to bronze in the 200m freestye at the World University Games being held in Kazan, Russia. Out in 57.96 over the first 100m, Caitlin maintained form and determination to secure bronze in 1:58.20. A 3 time Olympian, 5 Time World Medallist and Double Commonwealth Champion, who is now studying for a Postgraduate degree in Performance Psychology at Edinburgh University, was kept out of the World Championships through injury. Well done Caitlin.. another example of overcoming adversity.

A bronze medal winning performance from the Cayman Men's 4 x 50m Medley Team topped a great evening for the team.

The performance topped a day which saw the small Cayman Team take 4 medals...

Wells Johnstone, a 13yr old swimmer from Tennessee, has been training in with us for 10 days. Eager to maintain her fitness during the family vacation, Wells attended sessions at CBAC and Stingray....she usually trains 9 sessions per week, averaging around 7km per session. Wells returns home today and competes in the Regional Championships which are being held in Nashville, Tennessee from Thursday. Good Luck Wells.. It's been great having you visit

Here is a picture of a rather old pool constructed in the sea off St.Malo in France. (click on picture to enlarge) Many Summer Camps in the USA and Canda have pool constructed in a section of lake too. With Cayman's lovely clear, warm, calm waters is such a construction possible? A series of bulkheads...set of lane lines...? Just a thought.
