President of the club Gordon Borde said he expects a terrific turnout as the recent winner of the 3 km and 5 km  at the Maracas Open Water Classic Nikoli Blackman has also entered.

Blackman, on May 7, took the winner’s podium in the 3 km in a time of 45.07 and the 5km in 1:08.14. He is the obvious favourite for the race on Sunday.
