ORGANIZERS moved the 9th Davao Mayor's Cup Age-Group Swimming Meet a day early on May 8 and 9 at the Ladislawa Country Clubhouse in Buhangin, Philippine Amateur Swimming Association (Pasa) regional director Deedee Gonzalez announced.
Gonzalez, however, did not elaborate on the change of schedule.
The Davao swimfest is the kick off of the Regional Swimming Association (RSA) Southern Mindanao series of tournaments this year.
The RSA Southern Mindanao series will adapt the Philippine Olympic Festival (POF) system where swimmers 10 years old and below will swim together in every event. It will be the same thing for the 11-14 years old swimmers, 15 to 18 and 19-above.
The top three swimmers of every age will receive gold, silver and bronze pins instead of the usual medals.
Clubs from outside the Southern Mindanao Region are welcome to join the competition.
The Coastland Davao Swim Team (CDST), South Cotabato Amateur Swimming Association (Scasa), and General Santos Torpedoes are among the regular participants of the swimfest. (MLSA)
