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

“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.
