Swimming/Jordan Crooks

Cayman Islands’ standout swimmer Jordan Crooks was overwhelmed with gratitude as his return home from a successful outing at the World Aquatics Swimming Championships was met with fanfare.

Crooks, who won gold and bronze at the championships in Budapest, Hungary, along with his sister Jillian, were greeted by hundreds in the arrival halls at Owen Roberts International Airport earlier this week.

New 50m freestyle World Record holder Jordan Crooks and his teammates are set to receive a hero’s welcome as they return to the Cayman Islands following their stellar performances at the just-concluded World Aquatics Swimming Championships in Budapest.

Crooks, now a two-time world champion, delivered a masterclass in the 25-metre pool, as he broke the world record twice before securing gold in the 50m freestyle final with a time of 20.19 seconds.
