The Guyana Amateur Swimming Association (GASA) on Saturday morning, got their 2012 programme off to an encouraging start with the hosting of a mini competition dubbed ‘January Splash’.
While the consistent rain affected other disciplines, the conditions were ideal for the swimmers present especially the younger brigade, 10-years and under. Such was their desire to compete that they warmed up the small but appreciative crowd on hand at Colgrain Pool.
The more recognised swimmers used the event as a warm up for bigger things to come this year including next month’s National Championships and the 2012 Mashramani Meet which will be held at the spanking new National Aquatic Centre, February 16 – 19.
Many at Saturday’s mini meet were of the collective view that the race of the day was the 8-&-Under Kickboard contest between Leon Seaton and Jonathan van Lange.
GASA official Dr. Karen Pilgrim summed up this exciting tussle: “The result of Leon beating Jonathan by a second belies the excitement of seeing Leon in the lead, then Jonathan catching up, Leon ahead again, Jonathan fighting back, Leon slowed a bit by the lane ropes, Jonathan almost clear of him and Leon finally fighting back for the win.”
There were good performances by Amy Grant, Brittany van Lange, Joseph Seguina and Onika George among others.
