The Cayman Islands Olympic Committee has finalized its entire roster for the Commonwealth Games, with 6 swimmers joining the 28-person team.
Most notable is that Olympian Brett Fraser will be the only Fraser brother competing – his older sibling Shaune is not listed among the team members.
Also included are national record-holders Lara Butler, who holds Cayman Islands records in free, breast and IM, David Ebanks, the country’s best breaststroker, and Lauren Hew, who broke the 50 back record a few months ago.
Here are the six swimmers who will be representing the Cayman Islands in Glasgow, Scotland next month:
Alex McCallum
Brett Fraser

The Cayman Islands have never won a swimming medal at these Games, though it did win its first overall gold medal at the 2010 Games, courtesy of runner Cydonie Mothersill-Stephens.
