Georgetown : A 50 metre swimming pool ideal for international competitions opened at Lilendal as Guyana is preparing to host the 2012 Goodwill Championships.
President Jagdeo assured Alex Graham, President of the Guyana Amateur Swimming Association (GASA) that a $25M “Warm-Up-Warm-Down” pool seems possible, after Graham had explained that it is a necessary component of the facility and the hosting of the upcoming competitions.
Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Dr. Frank Anthony reported that Guyana competed 14 times at the Olympic level with only two swimmers representing the country blaming such limitation on the lack of adequate facilities.
With the National Aquatic Centre now functional Minister Anthony believes that the possibilities are endless with Guyanese competing in water polo at the male and female levels and synchronised swimming.
The centre constructed by Myrtha Pool Limited.
