Sponsorship

The 22nd OECS Swimming Championship committee thanks all of our sponsors for their gracious support. This year, Antigua & Barbuda can celebrate the return of the championship to our shores. It has been 19 years since it was held in Antigua and there is buzz of excitement surrounding this event.

We are all looking forward to Friday, the 9th of November, 2012 when the first swimmers burst off the blocks to commence the 22nd OECS Swimming Championships.

We thank our sponsors who have supported swimming in Antigua & Barbuda throughout the years and welcome all new sponsors. Without this support we would not be able to reach our goal of hosting the championships.
