The event was graced with the presence of over 270 swimmers and the open water swimming events are being used by the Guyanese as avenue to hopefully participate in the event at Olympic Games in the near future.

Only last Sunday, the aforementioned trio took home medals after a strong showing in the Sawaki Bartica-to-Riversview Open Water meet.
