Following a series of postponements dating back to March 2020, the Carifta Aquatics Championships, the top regional swimming competition, has been cancelled.
Communication of the decision came via a May 1 correspondence from the Barbados Aquatics Sports Association (BASA) president Cheryl Forde to the 28 national aquatic federation members and associate members of the region.
The event was initially postponed to a period later in 2020 with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic in March of last year.
A third postponement of the event was announced in January due to a resurgence and spike in the positive Covid-19 cases in Barbados.
The BASA president said after careful consideration and consultation with the Ministry of Health and the Covid-19 Monitoring Unit, the association is unable at this time to give any indication as to when Barbados will be allowed to host sporting competitions.
Forde added that the rescheduling of the CXC examinations had created an added challenge of determining and identifying a suitable date to host the competition.
Forde noted that the BASA is anxious to hold to its committment to host the Carifta event extended to 2022.
However, that will be determined by the Carifta Congress.
