Nassau, Bahamas -  RBC Royal Bank announced it has renewed its commitment as the named sponsor of the RBC National Swimming Championships. Facilitated by the Bahamas Swimming Federation (BSF), the 2014 National Swimming Championships will be held from June 19-22, 2014. This year 12 swim clubs and 490 athletes are scheduled to participate. The Swimming Nationals begin at 6:00 p.m. on June 19. Sessions on the following days begin at 9 a.m. All events are held at the Betty Kelly Kenning National Swim Complex.

“This year’s Swimming Nationals feature a highly talented pool of athletes,” said Algernon Mashiel Cargill, President of the Bahamas Swimming Federation. “We are anticipating a highly competitive meet and are pleased that RBC Royal Bank is again partnering with us as the main sponsor.” RBC has been sponsoring the National Swimming Championships for more than three decades.

“At RBC Royal Bank, supporting our youth is one of the core areas of focus for our community involvement programs, including our long-standing sponsorship of the Bahamas Swimming Federation,” said Mr. Nathaniel Beneby, Jr., Managing Director of RBC in The Bahamas, Cayman and Turks & Caicos. “Swimming not only exercises the body, but also requires setting personal goals and working hard to meet and exceed those goals. Involvement in these activities teaches these young athletes how to be the best they can be.”

This year’s competitors feature members of the 2014 Bahamas National Swim Team who achieved a historic first-place win – ahead of 21 other countries – at the 2014 CARIFTA Championships. “On behalf of RBC, I wish congratulate the Bahamas Swimming Federation on producing an outstanding team of athletes who represented The Bahamas in the 2014 CARIFTA Championships,” added Mr. Beneby. “This achievement impacts not just the team and the individual winners, it has created a source of pride for our entire nation.”

Tickets to each day’s events can be purchased at the door. The Betty Kelly Kenning National Swim Complex is located at the Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre.
