With the Bermuda Amateur Swimming Association’s National Long Course Championships scheduled to get underway in two days, Ben Smith the Bermuda National Coach is really looking forward to the event.
Olympian Roy-Allan Burch is also looking forward to being back home “It’s always a motivation to come back to the island to show how my training is going. This season I have been putting in some extremely hard work, and I am anticipating it paying big dividends in Glasgow. It’s also great to have two relay events (4x100 freestyle and 4x100 medley) as part of the schedule, and to allow Julian and me to partner with some of the younger, locally based swimmers. Even though I am living and training off the island most of the year I stay in close contact with Smith about the performances of our up and coming talent. I’m really impressed by the results some of the locally based swimmers, and see a very bright future for Bermuda’s swimming programme.”
