Heather Harvey (née Roffey), who became the first female swimmer to represent the Cayman Islands at the Olympic Games, made history yet again – this time becoming the first person to swim the Flowers Sea Swim, eight months pregnant.

Throughout the 30 illustrious years of the Flowers Sea Swim, thousands of swimmers have hit the waters off Seven Mile Beach, including several Caymanians who have represented Cayman at the Olympic Games.

Cayman’s best swimmers were honored late last month at the annual Cayman Islands Aquatic Sports Association Awards gala brunch at The Grand Old House.
