At the tender age three Accalia Khan’s mother signed her up for `Learn to Swim’ classes with the goal of helping her to develop the skills necessary to hold her own and be independent in the water.
“Mom wanted me to not drown, ever!” she said jokingly in an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport.
Her competitive training started at age of seven and she soon began to represent the club she was with at the time, Dorado Speed Swim Club.
Eventually she went on to represent the land of her birth – Guyana.
