Approximately 350 swimmers from 24 clubs-including teams from Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Georgia (USA), Guyana, Martinique, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, and host Saint Lucia-are set to compete in the 25th edition of the Rodney Heights Aquatic Centre (RHAC) Invitational Swimming Championships, scheduled for April 10 to 13.
The event will begin on Thursday evening, April 10, featuring key events such as the 1500 meters Freestyle, 50 meters Backstroke, 400 meters Individual Medley (IM), and 100 meters Butterfly.
