The Amateur Swimming Association of Trinidad and Tobago (ASATT) held their awards for the years 2012 and 2013 at the Cascadia Hotel, St Ann’s, on Tuesday.
George Bovell won the Male Athlete of the Year for the two years while ASATT president Joseph Mc Leod was named Coach of the Year for back-to-back years also.
Bovell’s standout feat was his FINA World Swimming Championships bronze medal in the Men’s 50m freestyle in Barcelona in 2013.
And Tidal Wave Aquatics also earned titles in two consecutive years when they copped the Club of the Year award for 2012 and 2013.
Dylan Carter was named top 15-17 for both years also with his FINA World Youth Swimming Championship silver medal achievement in the Men’s 50m butterfly in Dubai being the highlight of his achievements for 2013.
