Barbados’ junior female
swimming champion, Danielle
Titus, has broken six national
records and now the 17-yearold
said that her goggles are
firmly set on medalling at the
Olympics one day.
Performing in the just-concluded
2019 Barbados Aquatic
Sports Association Short
Course National Swimming
Championship, she bettered
her own previous times in
some events then went on to
erase four other records, all in
the girls 15-17 age group.
In her specialty events the
Carifta gold medallist reduced
the 29:77 secs she had set
in the 50 metres freestyle to
29:22; and erased her previous
national record of 1:03.02
in the 100 metres freestyle to
1:01.52.
She then put away another
national record of 2:21.08 in
the 200m freestyle by gliding
in at 2:12.91.
Displaying growth in physical
stature through the years
in this age group, which she
is about to exit, Titus went
on to lower the 200m individual
medley from 2:25.68 to
2:23.75.
Moving on up, she made
history of the 200m freestyle
record of 2:07.51 to clock
2:05.71.
She came in at 4:23.57 in
the 400m freestyle, putting to
bed the old time of 4:24.38.
When the six-day competition
ended a week ago the
youngster told Barbados
TODAY newspaper that she
used school competitions to
train specifically to produce
these performances at this
year’s national championships.
“I have been doing more
strokes now so I wanted to
see where I was at and tried to
improve for next year because
I just can’t swim backstroke
only. I decided to do all strokes
like IM individual medley,
freestyle and the plan was just
look for the records and go for
them.”
