Some 800 young swimmers are expected to compete in the second stop of The Distance Swim Super Series scheduled on November 25 and 26 at the Muntinlupa Aquatics Center, Brgy. Tunasan, Muntinlupa City.
Organized by Swim League Philippines, in collaboration with the Muntinlupa City Government, the tournament is open to all young swimmers regardless of swimming clubs and affiliation.
“Swim League Philippines is united in the call of the Philippine Aquatics Inc., for cooperation and unity to end the divisiveness in the aquatics community. All of us are partners in a mission to strengthen the sport by having a solid grassroots development program,” said SLP president Fred Ancheta-Galang.
The tournament is open to swimmers in Classes A, B, C, D and Motivational categories.
Ancheta insisted that there is also a division for para-swimmers and coaches, former athletes, and trainers (Masters).
“We have already received fillers from different swimming clubs and at this early stage we will reach 800 participants,” said Acheta.
