Day two at the Youth Commonwealth Games in Nassau, Bahamas was greeted with inclement weather a far cry from the brilliant sunshine of day one.
 
The young athletes coped admirably despite the conditions, in the morning swimmers Elijah Cruz, Aidan Carroll and David Hitchcock were up in the heats.
 
Elijah registered 30.27 in the 50m backstroke, while David and Aidan went in the 100m freestyle heats, Aidan clocked 58.04 and David came home in a time of 56.56. All three recorded personal bests.
 
In the afternoon on the track Abdullah Ahammad came home in 53.44 in heat 3 of the 400m. Abdullah runs again on day three in the heats of the 800m, while there’s more swimming action in the pool as well.
