\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

President of the Antigua and Barbuda Swimming Federation, Dr. Derek Marshall, who travelled with the team, congratulated the team members for their qualification saying, \u201cThe standard of swimming continues to rise in Antigua and Barbuda, as evident by the size of the CCCAN team for this year\u2019s competition and their qualifying times.\u00a0 This is the largest contingent of swimmers we have ever sent to CCCAN, and they have all met the strict qualifying triple-A time standard.\u00a0 I congratulate each and every one of them and wish them all the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Marshall added, \u201cI would also like to congratulate the Technical Officials who have been selected for this high profile meet.\u00a0 Like the athletes, our officials are raising the bar and should be commended for the sacrifices they make for the development of the sport.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
