Plans to enhance swimming numbers Article by By Jonteau Coppin President of the Barbados Amateur Swimming Association (BASA) Cheryl Lady Forde says that population size is the reason for the island’s low swimming representation in recent Olympic squads.

BASA president Cheryl Lady Forde said an exact figure was yet to be determined but the cost to purify the Barbados Aquatic Centre from volcanic plumes is likely to be expensive. “I imagine it will take a lot of money but at this stage I can’t measure what it would be like. We may even have to bring in industrial cleaners to clean the interior. It is a costly exercise to put things right,” she told Sun Sport during a telephone interview. ....
