Dylan Carter and Cadell Lyons will lead a 36-member national swimming team selected by the Amateur Swimming Association of T&T general council on Tuesday night to represent this country at the 27th Central American and Caribbean Nations Swimming Championship (CCCAN) in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, from June 25 to July 2.
The team, which is a fine mix of debutants and experience, would have a hard act to follow as the 2009 CCCAN team achieved a record haul of 54 medals consisting of 16 gold, 23 silver and 15 bronze in Barquisimeto, Venezuela.
Host Venezuela won the title easily with a bulging bag of 159 medals (74 gold, 48 silver, 37 bronze) for 1,767 points, while Mexico (537 points) was third with 41 (seven gold, 16 silver, 18) and Guatemala (472), fourth with 29 medals (seven gold, nine silver, 13 bronze).
