MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Swimming League is holding its 63rd leg Sept. 16-17 at the 50m pool of the Central Philippine University in Iloilo with the CPU Golden Lions as host.

More than 200 swimmers from the neighbouring provinces of Iloilo are expected to vie in various age groups – 7-8 , 9-10, 11-12 , 13-14, 15-17 and 18-over.

The top 3 winners in each category will be awarded medals and the most outstanding swimmer will receive a trophy. The top 3 teams will also be awarded trophies. The champion in the last competition in Iloilo was the JB Lacson swim team.

Aklan Swim Team, Capiz Eagle Rays and Capiz Turbo Sharks are the teams to beat.

PSL president Susan Papa said the PSL is now seriously looking at the Visayan region where a lot of potential swimmers have emerged.

“We will help them and we will let them make up for lost time,” said Papa.

“I see swimmers evolve and happy to see them improve day by day and in every competition. I am with them,” said  former Senator and sports advocate Nikki Coseteng.

Technical committee head Ed Mascardo will also update coaches, parents and swimmers with new technologies.
