NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Team Bahamas heads to the 2025 CARIFTA Games in Trinidad and Tobago with their sights set on a seventh consecutive title.

By all accounts, the team is well on the way to that title, along with team captain Mia Patton.

And as defending champions – there’s a lot at stake here.

But if the team’s preparedness is any indication, competitors have a fight on their hands. 

As a swimmer, and now assistant coach, Jasmine Gibson helped to set the pace for these consecutive titles.

The 12 open water swimmers have also been putting in a lot of work under coach Allan Murray.
