NATIONAL artistic swimmer Gracie Foster has captured bronze at the recently concluded Copa International Synchro Panama 2019.
Foster beat a slew of athletes from Barbados, Panama, Jamaica and Mexico to finish in third position behind Panama’s Daniela Castillo and Jamaica’s Laila Bailey.
The agile 13-year-old swimmer was part of the historic team that represented Barbados in Martinique at the 2016 CARIFTA Swimming Games. She and seven of her teammates shocked regional synchronised swimmers by convincingly winning bronze in the Under-12 group routine on their first outing to a competition.
Artistic swimming, previously known as synchronised swimming, is a challenging sport that combines athleticism, endurance, performance abilities and dance skills.
Foster was unable to compete in last month’s CARIFTA Games Artistic Swimming at the Aquatic Centre due to a clash of meets. (PR)
