AIMED to be among the next top swimmers in the country to don the national colors in future international competitions, Victorias City-hailed tankers displayed their full-potentials when they dominated the just-concluded 3rd Sinadya Swim Meet held at Roxas City, Capiz.

For swimming coach Cris Bancal, with proper training and exposures, these swimmers will be the future not only of Negros Occidental swimming but of the country. “We have lots of potential swimmers in the province. With the right program and government support, we can develop more Troy and Chloe from the grassroots,” he added.
