The Heat is Definitely On!

As we move closer to "D day", everyone gets jittery and panicky except for maybe our president Gutch who is forever calm and cool. Anyway, the panic and the chaos all spring from our (mostly mine, really) concern for issues which we would like to address right away. Top of the list is the number of competitors joining the event. But, as of 7 pm tonight, I had been told that we already have 253 participants. We have 2 weeks to go and are waiting for at least 3 more teams to send in their entries. So far, we've been getting good remarks from people who learn about this. God is good.

I just wish we'd be able to get more sponsors. But, as our dear president said, we move with or without the sponsors. When you're tired from preparing and get that kind of support, wouldn't your efforts be worth it?

The Classified B, C & D Age Group Swimming Invitational Competition Short Course Season 1 is the first competition hosted and organized by the Pasig Flying Dolphins Swim Team. It is set for September 6, 2008, 8:00 a.m. and will be held at the ULTRA Swimming Pool.

As of August 25, 2008 there the tally has already reached 280 participants enlisted for the event. A Technical Committee and a Grievance Committee composed of professional swim coaches from the different teams have been formed in order to ensure a fair and orderly competition. The secretariat and members of the different committees that make up the organizing team are composed of family-oriented professionals who are also the parents of the swimmers. All concerns, issues and plans are discussed and delegated to those who can address them appropriately. Thus, joining or dealing with the team gives you a professional yet friendly experience.
