Great uniform update, you forgot to congratulate the swim team. If the uniforms are for such high level meets, why track is using it for Carifta. But Karma is something else with old uniforms.. we are the champions my friend, not seven place, lol and many more to come in the near future. Worst place we ever finish was 4 place. They never thought nothing of our team. Thats why never came to Aruba. Swimming is rolling and we have the Gold rush..nobody else.

I think you need to come around the pool sometimes, so you can see the dedication these kids have for the sport, regardless of from which background they come from, just congratulate the team, they did great for The Bahamas and nobody can take that away from them. I would like to see some of your positive contributions in recent years, or do you have anybody involve in anything positive, if so..you have my respect also. go team bahamassssssssssssssssss. Congrats to the coaches, and parents for getting involve in such positive sport.

Iam a big time supporter of swimming as a sport. Every kid that swims doesnt have rich parents. In fact, many will be surprise of the struggles some families go through just to keep their children in the sport. Our best swimmer in the team, her parents couldnt even afford to go to Carifta to see their child swim. I would like to congratulate the entire Carifta Swim team for a great performance, they made history and nobody can take that away from them. It was a team performance at the highest level, all the 5.am practices weekly and evening practices finally paid off. In a time where in our society the first headline news on a daily basis is just crime, these good news of children doing positive contributions for their country, it is simply fantastic. Congrats to the Coaches, parents who dedicate ther time every day to take their children to swim practice. To the Swimming Federation keep the good work and specially keep encouraging this set of children with such a talent. To the Government, step up supporting this great sport, it is about time our swimmers get some respect just as track, we had to fight you even to provide the plane to take this great team to Aruba, and just give these childen their new puma uniforms as you did with track and field, they went to the games with 5 years old uniforms. It is a National team, wake up and do the job you asked for in 2012.

On CARIFTA history makers come home in triumph
