A new executive of the Antigua & Barbuda Swimming Federation has been elected with Edith Clashing voted to serve as President for a four (4) year term. The incoming president says that she looks forward to working with the other members of the new executive and stakeholders to realize a number of initiatives, including finding a home for the local swimming fraternity.
Edith Clashing, a veteran swimming administrator, noted that athletes and coaches have already shown their capacity to work hard despite challenges, but there is a dire need for improved facilities.
