NIGEL Forbes
NIGEL Forbes improved on a pair of Bahamas National and Bahamas Open records as he took the spotlight at the Bahamas Swimming Federation’s Year-Ending Swim Meet over the weekend.
The meet was held at the Betty Kelly Kenning Swim Complex as swimmers finally got back into the pool to compete for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic broke in March.
Forbes dropped his boys’ 13-14 100 metre butterfly time from 57.28 that he posted at the UANA Swimming Cup on February 21 to 56.92 on Saturday.
In the process, the Grand Bahamian representing the YMCA WaveRunners Swim Club erased the Bahamas Open record of 57.81 that Ian Pinder established on June 22, 2017 as well.

The Bahamas Aquatics Federation (BAF) hosted its end-of-year time trials meet this past weekend where a number of records were broken and UANA and CARIFTA standards were achieved as swimmers put on a show at the Betty Kelly-Kenning National Aquatics Center.
It has been over nine months since the BAF hosted a meet. Their last meet was the last chance meet held March 6-7 at the same location. The meet this past weekend was the first swim meet where all the clubs were invited to swim since March.
