Kaieteur News – The National Sports Commission (NSC) presented $1M to the Guyana Amateur Swimming Association (GASA), towards supporting the 10 athletes slated to represent Guyana at the CARIFTA Swimming Championships.
Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle presented the NSC’s cheque to Valmiki Singh, GASA’s Honorary Treasurer towards their participation at the 35th hosting of the championships which will take place in Barbados, April 16 – 20.
Ninvalle said the NSC is committed to supporting the country’s national teams and athletes, but encouraged all National Federations and Associations to submit their plans and budget to receive the necessary funding.
Meanwhile, GASA president, Dwayne Scott, thanked the NSC, adding that the Commission is one of the more dependable partners of GASA and “has continued to show support to all our programmes.”
