Bermuda have named a blend of youth and experience in their squad for the Caribbean Island Swimming Championships in Aruba.Veterans Roy-Allan Burch, who has qualified for the Olympic Games, and Lisa Blackburn will be joined by youngsters Julian Fletcher, Nic Patterson and Ashley Yearwood in Bermuda’s team of ten.The annual Championships, which will run from June 23 to 27, will be Burch’s final meet before he heads to London where he will compete in the 50 metre freestyle.“Roy-Allan Burch will be attending as his last tune up meet before the Olympics,” said Smith. “We are expecting a strong swim from him in the sprint events in the 18 and over age group especially after he just smashed the national records at the local CCS National Championships two weekends ago.“Julian Fletcher, who unfortunately just narrowly missed the Olympic cut, but holds national record times, will be out to show his form in the 18 and over breast events.“Lisa Blackburn has just competed in the Bahamas Nationals last weekend where she lowered her national record and will be in race mode in the 18 and over age group.“After coming so close to hitting the Olympic time it will be great to see how she performs in our region.”Smith also has high hopes for the Island’s younger swimmers including Jesse Washington who took the recent Carifta Championships by storm, winning a staggering seven medals.“Jesse Washington had an amazing Carifta this year so it will be interesting to see what he can do for an encore,” Smith said. “He has been working hard and showing even faster times since returning home and we are hoping for another incredible performance from him in his last meet against our region.“Nic Patterson will be swimming in the 15-17 age group and will be looking to continue his strong form in the butterfly events. He hopes to better his fourth place finish from this year’s Carifta Championships. This is his last year of competing in this age group category before joining the seniors in the 18 and over.“Ashley Yearwood has just returned home after doing her preparation at the Baylor school. She will be hoping to build on her medal performance at this year’s Carifta championships.”Smith has no doubt the local contingent will make the Island proud and is confident of a successful Championships for Bermuda.“I am quietly optimistic that we can have great success with a small team once again. Every swimmer that we are taking is well prepared and in great form.“This could be an opportunity for our athletes to shine again but you never know what happens until you reach the competition.“We are very happy with the progress of the programme and the way that our swimmers have been performing this season.“I know that no matter what they will give their best effort and I am sure they will make Bermuda proud.”
