MAYOR of Linden Carwyn Holland has made good on a pledge to help revive the sport of swimming in Linden.

The Mayor donated all the trophies and medals to be used for an upcoming swim meet by the Torpedo Swim Club of Linden which is coached by former female National Swimming Champion Mary Chung-Phillips.
Mayor Holland said that while the Mackenzie Swimming Pool was the desired venue for the swim meet, if that pool is not ready in time, then the organisers will have to find another pool.

The two options are the Watooka House Pool in Watooka and Dr. Joseph Haynes Mall Pool in Amelia’s Ward.

Chung-Phillips thanked Mayor Holland for his commitment towards promoting swimming.
Many medals were won by swimmers representing the East and West teams during the recent multi-sport Linden Games, staged by the Linden Youth Leaders.
Mayor Holland is the founder of the event which was held over the last weekend in Linden and won by the East swimming team.
