The Central American and Caribbean Swimming, Diving and Water Polo Championships were to be held at the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center Olympic pool from 25 June to 3 July. But work to restore the facility to international competition level has not been successful, as reported in Listin Diario. The event was moved to Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, which recently hosted the Pan Am Games.
Competitors are coming from Antigua, Barbuda, Netherlands Antilles, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Honduras, Cayman Islands, Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and Trinidad & Tobago and the Dominican Republic.
The Olympic Pool complex (50 meter pool, 25 meter pool and diving pool) was renovated in 2003 for Santo Domingo's hosting of the Pan Am Games at a cost of RD$125 million, but has suffered from lack of appropriate maintenance ever since, as Listin Diario reports today.
