Dorado Speed Swim Club’s Vladimir Woodroffe ended the Barbados Swimming Association (BSA) International Invitational as the 13 – 14 age group overall winner after amassing a total of 96 points over the three-day championship.

After claiming two gold and a silver on day one of the prestigious event, Vladimir returned on day two to finish third in the 100m freestyle in a time of one minute, 0.71s, while picking up back-to-back first place finishes in the 200m (two minutes, 10.67s) and 100m backstroke (one minute, 09.14s).

At the championship’s final day, the 14-year-old won the 1500m freestyle, clocking 19 minutes, 27.62 seconds, as well as the 200m backstroke in two minutes, 33.88s.

Woodroffe placed second in the 50m butterfly (29.32s) but failed to medal in the 50m freestyle where his time of 28.1s was only good enough for 7th place.

Vladimir, accompanied by his father Christopher, is the lone Guyanese at the event in the Land of the Flying Fish.
