The Blue Marlins Swim Club delivered an outstanding performance at the 26th Rodney Heights Aquatic Centre (RHAC) Invitational Swim Meet, held from April 9–12, 2026, in Saint Lucia, securing two high point titles and a total of 40 medals.

A 12-member team represented the club and country, competing against more than 30 teams from across the region. Despite their small size, the Blue Marlins finished fifth overall.

Competing in the 8 and under category were Rui Gordon, Jayce Thomas and Raya Adams. Xyon Sealey-Nicholls and Saige Jobe represented the club in the 9–10 age group, while Zoey May, Skylar Byron, Taj Henry and Saj Caesar formed the 11–12 contingent. Belle Adams was the lone swimmer in the 13–14 category, Tayeah St. Hilaire competed in the 15–17 division, and Jod Baker represented the club in the 18 and over category.

The team’s results were highlighted by two high point age group titles. Belle Adams captured the girls’ 13–14 title, while Tayeah St. Hilaire secured the girls’ 15–17 title. St. Hilaire also broke the girls’ 15–17 RHAC 50-metre backstroke record in a time of 33.22 seconds. Jod Baker finished second overall in the boys’ 18 and over category.

Additional podium finishes came from Skylar Byron and Jayce Thomas, who secured third-place individual trophies in the girls’ 11–12 and boys’ 8 and under divisions respectively.

In total, the Blue Marlins amassed 40 medals—17 gold, 10 silver and 13 bronze. The team competed in only one relay session, which typically offers double points, due to its limited size.

Several swimmers, including Thomas, May, Byron, St. Hilaire, Baker and the Adams sisters, qualified for the sprint challenge event but were unable to participate due to travel constraints related to their departing flight.

All swimmers recorded personal best times throughout the competition, reflecting their development and progress.

Head Coach Tamarah St. Hilaire congratulated the swimmers on their performance and thanked parents for their continued support.
