The country’s top junior and elite swimmers under Philippine BEST (Behrouz Elite Swimming Team) and Swim League Philippines (SLP) plunge into action in the 10th Circle of Swimmers of Melun Val de Seine scheduled May 13 to 15 in Paris, France.
BEST team manager Joan Mojdeh said the tournament will serve as a training ground for swimmers in future high-level competitions.
“Our mission is to enhance the talents of our swimmers from grassroots to elite. Kailangan ng mga bata ang experience and an international competition is the best for them,” said Mojdeh.
Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Jeremy Desplanches lead the elite cast of the tournament which drew participation from the best junior and elite swimmers in Europe, United States, Brazil and Chine among others.
Hung Antonio Parto, who swept his six events in the 15-16 class in the recent FINIS Short Course swim series in Clark, banner the squad along with fellow national junior record holder Michaela Mojdeh.
Other Paris-bound swimmers were Jordan Ken Lobos, Marcus Johannes De Kam, Yohan Mikhail Cabana, Nicholas Ivan Radovan, Lance Arce Lotino and Julia Ysabelle Basa.
Coach Virgilio De Luna and Strength and Conditioning Coach Jerricson Llanos will accompany the squad.
