Marlins Swim Club

We are proud not only of the results, but of the effort and team spirit shown throughout the National Open Long Course 2026.

Watching our swimmers push themselves and support each other every day reminds us of what being part of the Marlins family is all about 💛

Marlins Aquatics Club pair Marena Martinez and Zackary Anthony were the standout performers on the final day of the 2026 National Open Long Course Championships in Couva, combining for six individual gold medals and a relay win 🏅🏆

Martinez swept the women’s 200m butterfly, 200m backstroke and 400m freestyle titles before anchoring Marlins to victory in the mixed 11 & over 200m freestyle relay alongside Anthony, Zahara Anthony and Isaiah Alexander.

Anthony captured gold in the men’s 50m freestyle and 200m butterfly before returning to help seal relay gold in 1:43.69.

Elsewhere, RWB Aquatic Academy’s Zalayhar Lewis impressed with victory in the women’s 100m breaststroke, while Blue Dolphins’ Harvey Gibbins completed a clean sweep of five gold medals in the boys’ 10 & under category.

Let's Go Marlins!

SOLD OUT. 440 ATHLETES. 77 YEARS STRONG. WHO CONQUERS MARACAS? 🏊‍♀️🏖️

For the first time in 77 years, the Maracas Open Water Swim is completely SOLD OUT, with 440 athletes set to take on the waters this Sunday.

And guess who’s showing up to make the water feel cramped?
🇹🇹 Marena Martinez, the 2026 Carifta Aquatics 5K GOLD MEDALLIST, and now she’s hunting a DOUBLE-DOUBLE; defending BOTH the 3,000m AND 5,000m women’s titles.

But she’s not the only shark in the water:
🐟 Dante Pichery (reigning men’s 1,000m champ) is LEVELING UP to the 3,000m.
🐟 Gianna Picher is back to defend her 1,000m crown.
🐟 11 Special Olympics T&T athletes are racing alongside the full batch of swimmers in the open water.

There’s also a brand-new 500m “First-Timers” race. Snapped up instantly. That’s the kind of FOMO we love to see.
📅 Sunday 3rd May 2026
⏰ First splash: 7:30 AM (500m)
📍 Maracas Bay

To the 440 who got in… we see you. Swim loud. Swim proud!💪🏾
To everyone else? Start training for 2027. The waitlist is already crying. 😅

Congratulations to the Aquatics Sports Association of Trinidad & Tobago (ASATT) and Subway Trinidad and Tobago for delivering a sold-out, multi-generational, fully integrated event.

See you there!
