MEMBERS OF THE Barbados Water Polo team will be looking to win medal at this year’s Central American and Caribbean Amateur Swimming Confederation Championships (CCCAN). 

Twenty- one members left the island’s shores this morning, to join ten other competing nations, in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago at the National Aquatic Centre in Balmain, Couva, where competition begins today and runs until next Wednesday.

This is the first time the championships will be held in the twin island, and only the second time in the English-speaking Caribbean.
