ST GEORGE’S, Grenada, October 25, 2011 – The Grenada Amateur Swimming Association (GASA) has announced a 34-member team to defend its title at the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Championship scheduled for St Lucia, November 4-6.

Grenada won the sub-regional championship for the fifth consecutive year when it was hosted in St George’s last year.

The national team comprises a number of experienced swimmers including medallists and participants from regional and international meets such as the Carifta Swimming Championships, Caribbean Islands Swimming Championships (CISC), Central American and Caribbean Swimming Championships (CCCAN), and the Commonwealth Youth Games 2011.

GASA said that the team has been training regularly and is confident of retaining the OECS title in St Lucia next month.
