The Guyana Amateur Swimming Association (GASA) enjoyed a fruitful 2021 with the female athletes taking most of the spotlight.
According to GASA president, Dwayne Scott, “2021 was a very interesting year for GASA, it started out with two athletes at the South American games then we moved on to the Olympics where we had young Aleka Persaud and Andrew Fowler representing Guyana.
“Subsequently, we were able to send a sizable contingent to the Junior South American Championships. We had excellent representation at the Junior Pan Am [Games] and subsequently four athletes at the FINA World Championships in Abu Dhabi less than a month ago. All of these are tremendous achievements, we would have seen records being reset,” he added.
