Young swimmer Skylar Steer has broken a 15-year-old British Virgin Islands national age-group record in the Girls 9–10 200-metre freestyle at the 34th OECS Swimming Championships in Saint Lucia.
Steer clocked 2:46.54, surpassing the record set by Elinah Phillip in 2011.
The championships, held from November 6 to 8, also saw all 11 members of the BVI National Swim Team achieve personal best times.
According to the BVI Olympic Committee (BVIOC), the team recorded 10 A-standard and three AA-standard times, along with seven top-six individual finishes and four top-six relay finishes.
“Every swimmer contributed to the team’s achievements, showing dedication, determination and progress on the regional stage,” the BVIOC stated.
The Committee, which supported the team's participation, also thanked the coaches, team manager, parents, supporters and event organisers for their contributions.
