Black Sand Swim Club cleans up Brighton Beach

Black SAND Swim Squad (BSSS) swimmers, coaches and parents put aside their swim outfits on Sunday, March 26, to get down to work cleaning the Brighton Beach.

According to a release from the club this truly was a community event with a total of 56 large black garbage bags collected of mainly plastic waste which is polluting the shore lines of St. Vincent. BSSS were immensely proud of their teams’ efforts and for coming together in this initiative. Founder and coach, Kyle Dougan, expressed his delight at this not only being a unique bonding event for the team, but also promoting a healthier environment for the community of St Vincent and the Grenadines.

He expressed thanks to the East Caribbean Group of Companies ( ECGC) and the Central Water and Sewerage Authority (CWSA), for their support, and Knolly B from Calliaqua for his fantastic barbequing at the event.

The club says it plans to host more of these events in the future and would like to extend the invitation to all Vincentians to get involved in the cleaning of the beaches.
