“The 20th edition of the Goodwill Swim Meet, an annual competition between Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Guyana and St. Lucia took place at Club Oase in Paramaribo, Suriname from August 15-17, 2014. The Goodwill Swim Meet is a developmental meet for swimmers from the participating countries who have not yet competed at higher levels of regional competition.
While goodwill, and promoting the sport of swimming in these developing countries remain the goal, the competition in the pool is especially fierce. Outside the pool, the intensity continues with an atmosphere that switches between a Carnival atmosphere and a soccer rivalry.”
