The International School of the Turks and Caicos Islands (ISTCI) is proud to announce the exceptional performances of our young swimmers at their recent meet. Under the guidance of Coach Benneth S. Williams, our children demonstrated remarkable skill, dedication, and sportsmanship, making their coach and school community immensely proud. During the Tornadoes Swim Meet in Kingston, Jamaica, May 24 – 26, 2024 at National Aquatic Center.

From the first dive into the pool, it was clear that the hard work and rigorous training had paid off. The children showcased not just their talent but also their unwavering commitment to the sport. This meet was particularly special as it marked the debut of several young swimmers who transitioned from the 18m school pool to a 50m long course meet with remarkable ease and confidence.

We are thrilled to highlight the outstanding performances of Asher, Oisin, Victoria, Sansa, Devon, Vivaan, Peyton, and Charlie, who all participated in their very first meet. Their courage and determination were truly inspiring, and their accomplishments set a high standard for future competitions.

Special recognition goes to Asher and Mikayla for their exceptional combined unofficial points tally of 19, a clear indicator of their talent and prowess in the water. Veteran swimmers Hayley and Mikayla also deserve commendation for their stellar performances and notable improvement on their entry times, reflecting their hard work and continuous dedication to the sport.

Asher's first swim meet was a standout performance, finishing in the top 6 in all his events and earning a medal in the breaststroke. His achievements, alongside his teammates, are a source of great pride for the ISTCI community.

Team Manager Indrani Saunders and Coach Benneth S. Williams expressed their gratitude to the school and the community, stating, "Thank you to The International School of the Turks and Caicos Islands for this great opportunity. Watching these young athletes transition and excel in a 50m long course meet has been incredibly rewarding. Their confidence and determination are commendable."

The meet not only highlighted the individual talents of our swimmers but also the collective spirit of teamwork and support that defines ISTCI. We look forward to many more such successes and wish our young athletes continued excellence in their swimming endeavors.
