Vice pres­i­dent Wen­dell Lai Hing ex­pressed sat­is­fac­tion at the club's per­for­mance and high­light­ed the vic­to­ry at the Am­a­teur Swim­ming As­so­ci­a­tion of T&T's (ASATT) De­cem­ber In­vi­ta­tion­al last year as an his­toric one, as it was the first time in more than a decade the host club Mar­lins was de­feat­ed at this meet. Ti­tans al­so won the Sea Hawks New Year Splash, the Stingray Oc­to­ber Clas­sic, and the Pe­ter Awong Memo­r­i­al Swim Meet in De­cem­ber.

Ami­ra Pil­grim was recog­nised at the most out­stand­ing swim­mer among the girls in the 12-and-un­der di­vi­sion. Pil­grim achieved a gold in the 11-12 50m but­ter­fly, sil­ver in the 50m freestyle and a bronze in the 100m freestyle at the Caribbean Is­land Swim­ming Cham­pi­onships (CISC) in Aru­ba. She al­so won gold in the fe­male 11-12 50m but­ter­fly and the 50m freestyle gold, along with a bronze in the 100m but­ter­fly at the Carif­ta Swim­ming Cham­pi­onships in Ba­hamas.

Daniel Jesu­rum was recog­nised as the most out­stand­ing swim­mer in the boy's 12-and-un­der as he was the most dom­i­nant in his di­vi­sion at na­tion­al meets.

Ad­di­tion­al­ly, he won the boy's eight-and-un­der 50m back­stroke, 50m freestyle, 50m but­ter­fly, 50m breast­stroke, 4x50 freestyle and the 4x50 med­ley bronze, at the Good­will Swim Meet held in Guyana.

In the 13-and-over cat­e­go­ry, Jonathan Ramkissoon was recog­nised as the most out­stand­ing male. Ramkissoon won gold in the 15-17 4x100m med­ley re­lay, sil­ver in the 100m breast­stroke and bronze in the 50m Breast­stroke at CISC, miss­ing the na­tion­al record in the 50m breast by 0.02 sec­onds.

On the girls' side, Kristin Julien won the most out­stand­ing fe­male ac­co­lade. Julien had a tough year plagued with an in­jury which oc­curred dur­ing Carif­ta and ruled her out CISC but she re­bound­ed well when at the ASATT De­cem­ber In­vi­ta­tion­al she be­came the first T&T ath­lete to qual­i­fy for the Fi­na World Ju­nior Cham­pi­onships, which is set for Au­gust.

She­nia Clap­per­ton and Os­aze Ri­ley were recog­nised as the most im­proved fe­male and male, re­spec­tive­ly. Meli­na Mar­cano was recog­nised for the best team spir­it. A spe­cial award was giv­en to the top five ath­letes who earned awards for the club. Ramkissoon was the top point earn­er for the club, fol­lowed by Pil­grim, Mar­cano, Kyle Carac­ci­o­lo and Theana Hay.
