Swimmers from the Dorado Speed Swim Club yesterday staged a peaceful protest outside the National Aquatic Centre, venting their frustration since only three swimmers are allowed to use the facility.
Almost all of the nation’s swimmers have been unable to swim for almost a year even though GASA has held meetings outlining their compliance to all the COVID-19 measures according to the world governing body for swimming, the International Swimming Federation (FINA).
Starting September 2020, letters were sent to, and meetings were held with, Minister of Health, Dr. Frank Anthony, Minister of Sport, Charles Ramson Jr., and the COVID-19 Task Force all of which has proved futile, hence the protest yesterday.
