The Grenada Amateur Swimming Association (GASA) has entered a new era following a pivotal Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 24 January at the Grenada Olympic Committee (GOC) headquarters.
The meeting concluded with the election of a new executive body committed to advancing the development of swimming in Grenada.
This milestone AGM brought together stakeholders and members of the local swimming community to chart the course for the future of the sport. Central to the agenda was the election of officers who will spearhead critical initiatives, including the much-anticipated procurement of a new swimming pool — an essential resource for athletes and the broader community.
The newly elected executive is comprised of dedicated individuals poised to drive growth, enhance facilities, and foster talent across the island. Their collective vision aims to elevate Grenadian swimming to new heights, ensuring greater opportunities for athletes and strengthening the nation’s presence on the regional and international stage.
With this renewed leadership and clear commitment to progress, GASA stands ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities ahead, marking the beginning of an exciting chapter for swimming in Grenada.
The GASA Board will consist of:
- Ex Officio — Peron Johnson, who will help ensure a smooth transition and provide ongoing support for the advancement of swimming
- President — Nataly Regis
- Vice President — Deb Eastwood
- Secretary — Ruth Collymore
- Asst Secretary — Jeannine Sylvester Gill
- Treasurer — Gwenlian Andrew
- Asst Treasurer — Rohan Bernard
- PRO (Public Relations Officer) — Valorie Andrew
- Floor Members — Dari Twum-Barimah, Stephanie Holmes, Nigel Gresham
Regis, incoming president, is a Grenadian national sports leader whose contribution to swimming spans athlete representation, coaching, competition director, and system development. She has represented Grenada as a national swimmer since 1994, served as a coach since 1997, and acted as an international delegate since 2007 at World and Olympic games, contributing to regional and international sport governance and development. Her work has been instrumental in transforming swimming in Grenada through public school learn-to-swim programmes, water safety, and early talent identification. Her vision for Grenada swimming outlines a clear pathway to success, starting with learn-to-swim programmes, progressing through clubs and membership, advancing to national competitions, and reaching high-performance levels. This approach ensures sustainable athlete development, coaches-driven, officials supported.
Regis expressed gratitude for the outgoing board’s efforts and reaffirmed the board’s commitment to building a new 25-metre, 8-lane pool. She underscored that the realisation of this facility will remain a top priority moving forward.
