Subject: carifta

Now i really think that the bsf/swift are running out now. HOW obvious can you get...if you look at the carifta team some may say that a few of them were selected unfairly. For example how the hell could the bsf allow those american swimmers to just pop up and represent the bahamas just like that ?...where as our bahamian swimmers right here have been training for carifta when all of a sudden this happens !!! and in the 13+14 girl age groups where a backstroker was left off the team because of a SWIFT swimmer...and also somebody brought to my attention with the 15-17 males that swimmers are going just to swim one stroke or event where a swimmer who could of gone and swam 5 events.... i mena do you guys not think of what your doing ? now the 15 and over relay teams will be weak and you have swift/bsf to thank for it. Now back t those american swimmers mean ther is nothing wrong with them comming here and swimming in nationals but how they was entered under swift in their first meet ? what a load of crap and to place them on the carifta team instead of our swimmers who have been training al year for this is just a slap in the face.....how do you expect to swimming to excell in the bahamas if the bsf/swift continues to bash the rules and do foolishness this is part of the reason why a swimmer that is off in college swam for a another country.... soon a new federation wil be formed and then what will swift have to say about it then?...Im just sayin to wise up because it is so obvious that every swimmer from swift that tried out for the carifta team was selected over swimmers that were CLEARLY more capable to swim in their places!!
