Meanwhile, the Bahamas Aquatics Federation has a very busy summer ahead. 

The National Swimming Championships will be held next week, June 15th-18th at the Betty Kelly Kenning National Stadium. 

The best swimmers from across the country ages 8 to adulthood will compete for a chance to qualify for the World Aquatics Meet in Paris in 2024.
