President of the Barbados Amateur Swimming Association (BASA) Cheryl Lady Forde says that population size is the reason for the island’s low swimming representation in recent Olympic squads. In the last three Olympic teams Barbados have had a total of seven swimmers competing, one of whom was triathlon athlete Jason Wilson in 2016.Speaking with Barbados TODAY in a phone interview, she stated that the pool of available swimmers played a big part with respect to representation.
