CEBUANOS who are in their prime and into open-water swimming are invited to see action in the Swim Masters Series slated next month.

The event is organized by the Sports Management Solutions to promote the sport of open-water swimming, which is now an Olympic event.

Masters swimming is also a way of promoting swimming as a fitness sport for all ages.

The second event is the Swim Masters Series at the Village Sports Club, BF Homes. This will be a swimming pool race for “older” swimmers. Age groups are 20-24, 25-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60-above. There will be pool races of all strokes (50m and 100m) and some fun relays.

FEATURED STORIES

An inter-alumni competition will be part of the fun, so swimmers can relive their former varsity swimming days.

Guy Concepcion said that for now, the series will be held only in Metro Manila and Batangas but they hope to bring the event here in Cebu as well as other parts of the country./CORRESPONDENT MARS G. ALISON
