Bermuda’s swimming sensation Teagan Mewett has completed a remarkable individual haul at the XXXIX Carifta Aquatics Championships, claiming her third medal of the meet as the pool action reached a crescendo in Martinique.
On the final evening of competition at the Pierre Samot Community Aquatic Centre, Mewett once again demonstrated her status as one of the region’s elite breaststroke specialists. Competing in the 15-17 Girls 100m Breaststroke, she produced a disciplined and powerful display to navigate a high-caliber field.
The Bermudian touched the wall in a clinical 1:16.35 to secure the bronze medal, fending off a late charge from the chasing pack. The result marks a significant milestone for Mewett, who has found the podium with impressive consistency throughout the week. This latest bronze joins her previous successes in the breaststroke sprints, cementing a "hat-trick" of medals that has underpinned Bermuda’s strong showing in the points standings.
Mewett’s performance provided the perfect finale for the Gombey Warriors' pool campaign, which has been defined by a blend of veteran composure and emerging teenage talent. Her ability to deliver under the bright lights of a Carifta final once again highlights the strength of the island’s aquatic program on the international stage.
While the curtain now falls on the events in the pool, the Bermudian contingent can reflect on a campaign where they have consistently punched above their weight. With Mewett leading the charge, the team heads into the post-meet celebrations having firmly established Bermuda as a dominant force in Caribbean age-group swimming.
