NATIONAL SWIM TEAM MAKE FINAL PREPARATION FOR CARIBBEAN ISLAND SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS June 27, 2002...The National Swim Team of 33 Swimmers and 6 Synchronized Swimmers will tomorrow start it’s final weekend of training for the Caribbean Island Swimming Championships (CISC) that will dive into action on July 3 in Curacao. Five training sessions are scheduled at the National Stadium Pool before the team departs Kingston on Tuesday, July 2. Adi Atkinson, Alia Atkinson, Allison Bardowell and National Team new comer Nekiesha Cain will arrive in the island Friday morning to join the team for their first training session on 5:00 PM. Raine Paulson Andrews and Ramon James are expected to train with the team on Saturday. Janelle Atkinson and Jevon Atkinson will travel directly to Curacao on July 2. The Amateur Swimming Association (ASAJ) today announced that Gillian Millwood has been added to the CISC team to strengthen Jamaica’s 13-14 Female age group contingent. Millwood, who was selected based on her Silver Medal performance in the 200 M Butterfly at the CARIFTA Games, will also strengthen the 4 X 100 Freestyle Relay Team by about one (1) second. ASAJ President John Eyre at a team briefing today, stated that the “39 Swimmers and 6 Managers is not only the largest team that Jamaica has ever entered in the Caribbean Island Swimming Championships, but is probably the strongest in recent memory”. The ASAJ is inviting the press to attend any of the weekend training sessions to meet the swimmers and coaches. This will also be a great opportunity for the press to meet Jamaica’s overseas-based swimmers. Training sessions (ALL SESSIONS WILL BE AT THE NATIONAL STADIUM POOL):
