The Blue Marlins Swim Club has come up victorious again, capturing its fourth consecutive national swim title.

The SVG Gallagher National Swim Champs were held from 18th–21st September 2025 at the Shrewsbury Aquatic Centre, where three local clubs — the Blue Marlins Swim Club, Black Sands Swim Squad, and H2O Lions Academy — along with one regional club, Sailfish from Grenada, competed for the coveted title.

The Blue Marlins finished in the top position with a total of 1,314.5 points and claimed five age group titles.

Belle Adams (girls 11–12) and Saj Caesar (boys 9–10) finished with the maximum number of individual points, each attaining 108 points to win in their age categories. Jace Thomas was the boys 8-and-under champion with 61 points, Zoey May was victorious for the girls 9–10 age group with 82 points, and Jadon Hamilton topped the boys 13–14 age group with 97 points.

Six more Blue Marlins swimmers earned their place on the podium, finishing in the top three of their age groups. Raya Adams (girls 8 and under), Zane Da Briel (boys 8 and under), Xid Toney (boys 9–10), and Hazen Da Briel (boys 15–17) took second place, while Caghry Williams (boys 11–12) and Tayeah St. Hilaire (girls 13–14) placed third in their respective categories.

Williams also had his name etched into the record books, breaking his previous 50m breaststroke record of 33.02 seconds, set just one month ago at the National Time Trials. This time, he completed the 50m breaststroke in a record 32.78 seconds.

The Club was represented by 25 swimmers, all contributing to an excellent showing at the meet, resulting in a total medal tally of 138.

The team was prepared by coaches Tamara St. Hilaire, Alyssa Davis, and Rickydene Alexander. Speaking on behalf of the coaches, Rickydene said the swimmers had worked very hard to prepare for the meet, with some having had no break this summer. He expressed extreme satisfaction with their performance and thanked the parents for their continued commitment and support. Coach Rickydene added that the competition among the teams was healthy and congratulated the other clubs on a job well done.
