THE Caribbean Bottling Company (Bahamas) Ltd. (CBC), local producers of Coca-Cola, has sponsored the 2023 CARIFTA Bahamas Aquatics Team, which travelled to compete in the renowned CARIFTA Games being held in Curacao over the Easter weekend.

“We’re thrilled to come on board as one of the sponsors for this year’s group of young and talented athletes. As the four-time defending CARIFTA swimming and water polo champions, we’re excited to assist Team Bahamas as they go on to represent the country on the international stage.

“It’s always encouraging to see the discipline and commitment that our young athletes display, and we are humbled to have been able to support them,” said Jadrian Turnquest, CBC marketing manager.

CBC provided funding for branded water bottles and towels, along with Powerade and Dasani beverages to keep the team hydrated throughout the competition.

“Rehydration is extremely important when competing in any event, so we are very pleased to have provided Powerade and Dasani to our Bahamian athletes who are participating,” Turnquest added.

Said Algernon Cargill, president of Bahamas Aquatics: “Through the generosity of corporate Bahamas, we have consistently been able to place among the best countries participating in the CARIFTA Swimming and Water Polo Championships, and last year, achieved what was never accomplished before – we won CARIFTA Aquatics for four consecutive years, and five times out of the last six years. Our young team is anxious to continue to make history at the 2023 CARIFTA Aquatics Championships.”
