GASA Mashramani Long Course Meet looms

Feb 21, 2015 Sports

The best swimmers in the land are set to match strides when the Guyana Amateur Swimming Association (GASA) commences its 2015 season with the hosting of the Mashramani Long Course Meet on Saturday February 28 at the National Aquatic Centre, Liliendaal.
This Meet will also be used as Time Trials for the 2015 CARIFTA Swim Meet which will be held in Barbados in April this year.
They are two junior girls in the 13-14 age group who will be the talking point of the day when the action begins and that will be Amy Grant and Kenita Mahaica who were both swimming very well last year and will push each other all the way to the finish.
The last thing any swimmer wants to encounter before one of the biggest swim meet of the year is a virus, but that is what Amy Grant is facing as the trials to the CARIFTA Meet approaches.
Grant has contracted a bug that kept her out of the water last week and when she returned Monday she made it worse and now she is suffering from a relapse.
After visiting the doctor Thursday morning last, Grant was instructed to stay out of the water until the course of the medication is finished and she has stopped coughing. She is expected to be back in the pool by the 25th of February, three days before the meet.
The older junior girls swimming in the 15-17 group the likes of Onika George and Accalia Khan will be hoping to set a record time which will see them through this time trial for CARIFTA 2015.
But it won’t be easy to swim the qualifying times set for CARIFTA in each event so the girls might have to select their best events and try their utmost to compete at this level.
Brittany van Lange is also enduring a set back as she has been faced with one illness after another. She has returned three weeks ago and it is hoped that she is fit enough to swim her key events.
