The Grenada Amateur Swimming Association (GASA) has embarked on a transformative new chapter following its landmark Annual General Meeting convened on January 24 at the Grenada Olympic Committee headquarters. The assembly culminated in the election of a dynamic executive team charged with revolutionizing aquatic sports development throughout the nation.
This decisive gathering united swimming community stakeholders to strategize the sport’s future trajectory, with central focus on electing leadership to drive critical infrastructure projects—most notably the acquisition of a modern 25-meter, 8-lane competition pool that represents a cornerstone for athletic development and community engagement.
The newly constituted executive committee brings together seasoned professionals committed to talent cultivation, facility enhancement, and program expansion. Under the presidency of Nataly Regis—a distinguished sports leader with three decades of involvement in Grenadian swimming—the team possesses comprehensive expertise across athlete development, coaching excellence, and international sports governance.
President Regis brings exceptional qualifications to her role, having represented Grenada as national swimmer since 1994, coached since 1997, and served as international delegate since 2007 at World Championships and Olympic Games. Her transformative work includes pioneering public school learn-to-swim initiatives, water safety programs, and early talent identification systems. Her strategic vision establishes clear progression pathways from foundational swimming instruction through club participation, national competitions, and ultimately to elite international performance.
The complete executive roster includes: Peron Johnson (Ex Officio), Deb Eastwood (Vice President), Ruth Collymore (Secretary), Jeannine Sylvester Gill (Assistant Secretary), Gwenlian Andrew (Treasurer), Rohan Bernard (Assistant Treasurer), Valorie Andrew (Public Relations Officer), with Dari Twum-Barimah, Stephanie Holmes, and Nigel Gresham serving as Floor Members.
In her inaugural address, President Regis acknowledged the outgoing board’s contributions while emphasizing that pool construction remains the organization’s paramount priority. The new leadership expressed profound gratitude to previous administrators for sustaining the association through voluntary service and establishing robust foundations for future growth. The incoming executive specifically requested ongoing guidance from predecessors to ensure institutional knowledge transfer and operational continuity.
This leadership transition signals Grenada’s strengthened commitment to aquatic sports excellence, with the restructured GASA poised to elevate the nation’s regional and international competitive presence through systematic athlete development and world-class infrastructure.
