A crowd of excited well wishers welcomed home Cayman’s medal-winning swimmers, Shaune and Brett Fraser, at the Owen Roberts International Airport.

Excited cadets proudly waving Cayman flags, members from local swimming clubs, and Sports Minister Mark Scotland, friends and family members, all joined in congratulating the brothers for bringing home the Gold and Silver medals from the recent Pan-American Games in
Guadalajara, Mexico.

Brett won the Gold in the 200m freestyle Pan-Am Games record time of 1:47.18, and Shaune came right behind, winning Silver with a time of 1:48.29.

Both brothers beat the old record, set by Brazilian Gustavo Borges in 1995.

The Pan American Games are the second largest multi-sport event after the Summer Olympic Games, but now the brothers will have their sights set on the London Olympics next year.

Brett said: “I’m feeling pretty good- this is really special what everyone did so I don’t know what to say because it is the first time something like this has happened, so it’s really very amazing, to say the least.”

Shaune added: “I’m feeling really good. It’s nice to be home and back around all my friends. It’s a very proud moment so it’s nice to come back. It’s been a great experience for me. Training with my brother has definitely been a unique time and one where we go down in making history,”

David (Jim) Fraser said: “I’m very proud.”
