International swimmers expected at Tornadoes Invitational

This weekend’s Tornadoes Swim Club Invitational meet is being hailed as an important tool in the development of the sport in Jamaica as some of the island’s best swimmers get set to match their strokes with overseas competitors from four countries.

The 25th instalment of the event, which gets underway tomorrow and runs through to Sunday at the National Aquatics Centre, will feature swimmers from Egypt, the Cayman Islands, Morocco, and Mexico in what noted club Coach Wendy Lee, who is also a part of the national programme, is expecting to help guarantee world-class performances over the three days of competition.
