The Tornadoes Swim Club delivered an outstanding performance at the 2024 ASAJ Christmas Open at the stadium pool.
The four-day meet which ended yesterday featured fierce competition with participation from seventeen clubs, including seven from across the Cayman Islands, Barbados, and the Bahamas.
In a standout showing, Tornadoes not only set meet records, but also achieved a National Record, marking a significant milestone for both the club and Jamaican swimming.
The 11–12-year-old team of Kai Lawson, Emanuelle Spence, Anna-Lyssa Cooke, and Kia Alert broke the National Record in the 800-metres Freestyle Relay with an impressive time of 10-minutes-07-point-65 seconds.
This surpassed the previous record of 10-minutes-11-point-80 seconds set by the Tornadoes Swim Club in 2018.
Tornadoes head coach, Wendy Lee, expressed her pride in the team’s achievement.
