Grenada Youth Adventurers, in conjunction with the Ministry of Sports, awarded Kevin Phillips of Mt Moritz the Swim Instructor of the Year for 2018.

Phillips has had a huge impact on swimming in Mount Moritz and the Grand Mal area, with free swim lessons on Saturday mornings and his coaching of a swim club at Mt Moritz Anglican Primary School where he is a teacher. He has also developed the baby swimming programme in Grand Anse. Phillips is a FINA Certified Level 2 Coach and will be assisting the Sailfish Swim Club in the upcoming year. He received the Swim Instructor of the Year award at the recent Inter-Beach Competition in front of his peers. Previous winners of the award include Nataly Regis (Head Swim Coach, Ministry of Sports) and David and Linda Wright (Bathway).

Swim Instructor of the Year award

These exemplary service awards recognise swim instructors/coaches/volunteers who have contributed to the “Get Grenada Swimming (GGS)” initiative to teach 8,000 children to swim by 2021. As of the end of 2018, almost 4,000 children have been taught in the GGS programmes.

The criteria for receiving a Swim Instructor of the Year Award are:

  1. Must be involved in giving free swim lessons
  2. Must have shown exemplary service in the growth of a particular beach or area in Grenada
  3. Must be working to continue to develop themselves and others in swimming
