Swimming mired in admin decay

If you are a five-time winner at a major competition, a national record holder and have countless other accomplishments in a sport discipline, you should have high expectations of a bright future representing your country.

For junior swimmer Amy Grant though, such thoughts are far from reality.

Not for the first time this year, Guyana’s current highest achieving female youth swimmer, has been unjustly denied national team selection, as the current XXIII Goodwill Swim Meet is going on without her, despite stellar performances at the meet’s trials.

This time around it is more agonizing given the fact that the competition is taking place in the team’s backyard at the Liliendaal National Aquatic Center.
