Dorado Speed Swim Club trio of Soroya Simmons, Daniel Scott and Alex Winter battled the tough waters in Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday to produce some commendable performances at the Maracas Bay Open Water Classic.
Simmons placed fourth (10th overall) in female 5K in a time of one hour, twenty-two minutes and two seconds (1:22.02), Scott finished ninth in male 2,650 K in a time of thirty-eight minutes and twenty-nine seconds ( 38.29) while a time of forty-one minutes and forty-five seconds (41.45) allowed Winter to finish in eighteenth position.
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.
