Aimed to develop national and international swimmers, the Swimming Coaches of Negros Association hosted a Fun Swim 4 and Competitive Swim Event last August 12, 2023 at the University of St. La Salle Bacolod pool. The participants came from different swim clubs all over Negros Occidental.

In the Novice event, the Top 3 Performing Clubs were Orca’s Swimming Team, Minuluan Pirates Swim Club, and Team Gators. The Minuluan Pirates eventually dominated the meet with their best tankers displaying their full-potential and was declared Champion in the Competitive Category.

The Most Be-medalled in the event were Maaraya Garovolli for Age 6-and-under Girl, Highrich Deligincia Age 6 and under Boy, Rogennyl Rebato age 7-8 girl, Harry Diesto for Age 7-8 Boy, Aerho Tibus for Age 9-10 Boy, Kristin Garpa for Age 9-10 Girl, Ashreil Gangoso for Age 11-12 Girl, Gregori Alek Ong for Age 11-12 Boy, Chrisella Marie Los Banes for Age 13-14 Girl, Intnyr Gutana for Age 13-14 Boy, Adrian Chua for Age 15 and Over Boy and Sharise Medel for Age 15 and Over Girl.

For swimming coach Cris Bancal, the swimmers will be the future of Negros Occidental in national and international competitions with regular swim events and proper training.

Recently, a young swimmer from Silay City won silver in the SEA Games in Cambodia in the person of Alexi Cabayaran. She is the product of the grassroots program of the three associations.* (Cyrus M. Garde)
