THE search for new swimming stars continues as the Congress of Philippine Aquatics stages the One for All-All for One Swim Series Leg 3 this Sunday at the Teofilo Ildefonso Swimming pool inside the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
Backed by Speedo Philippines and the Philippine Sports Commission and sanctioned by the Philippine Aquatics, Inc. the series features the best junior swimmers and novices as part of the extensive program at the grassroots level by COPA, led by swimming icon and Batangas 1st District Congressman Eric Buhain.
According to tournament director Chito Rivera, the president of the Samahang Manlalangoy sa Pilipinas, the competition is open to all young swimmers regardless of their affiliation with swimming clubs or organizations.
Rivera said the event is also part of the swimmers’ preparations for the PAI’s National tryouts for the team competing in the Southeast Asian Age Group Championship in December in Bangkok, Thailand.
He said students from public schools and no regular swimming clubs can participate in the tournament for free.
