The Jamaica United Artistic Swimming team made waves at the World Invitational in Coral Springs, Florida, delivering a commanding performance that earned them a stunning 43 medals—24 gold, 13 silver, and six bronze—across solo, duet, trio, team, and figures events.

Led by Head Coach Robyn Chin Sang, the team capped off its campaign by capturing the High Point Trophy in the intermediate division, awarded to the squad that amassed the most points throughout the meet.

“It was a strong performance across the board,” Chin Sang told Sportsmax.TV. “Our athletes gave their best, and we really dominated. Winning the High Point Trophy reflects our consistency and depth.”

But that’s not all — two of the team’s standout athletes were honoured with the prestigious Best Figures Title and Award. In the Novice 9–10 category, Kendi Paris emerged as the top performer, while in the Novice 13 & Over division, Janna Nesbeth secured top honours.

“They weren’t just part of strong team routines—they topped their entire categories in figures,” Chin Sang noted. “It shows they’re technically sound and progressing well in their development.”

The performance of the JamUnited Intermediate Team Routine was the highlight of the meet, ultimately securing the High Point Trophy, a clear testament to Jamaica’s rise in the sport.

The competition featured over a dozen countries from the Caribbean and the Americas, including Canada, Peru, and Puerto Rico. While Sang was careful not to single out Team Jamaica above its regional peers, she admitted, “Based on the High Point Trophy, I’d say we went and did very well.”

Adding to the significance of the meet, this was the first time Jamaica fielded a male artistic swimmer as part of the team—an important step in diversifying and expanding the programme’s reach.

Looking ahead, Jordayna Thomas and Lisa Campbell, both competing in the 12-and-under age group, have qualified for the Pan American Artistic Swimming Championships in Colombia next week. It will mark their debut at this elite level.

“We’re just hoping they go out there and do their best,” Chin Sang said. “Whether or not they medal, the experience at that level will be invaluable.”

With a high medal count, standout individual honours, and historic firsts, Jamaica’s artistic swimmers are rapidly emerging as regional leaders, showing the world what determination, discipline, and team spirit can achieve.
