Happy New Year to all swimmers and to all patrons of this blog. May this celebration shed new light to all of us. May it remind us that there are new things ahead of us and we can conquer it all... Happy New Year!!!

2011 Highlights!!!!

2011-12-23T18:41:00.000-08:00

Good Day!!! It has been a while since the last update of the blog. Rest Assured that all will be updated to the best of my ability. For this year, our swimmers competed in different competitions. Major events include the National Youth Selections, Long and Short Course G-League Swim Series, the Ateneo Aquathlon and many more. Through these events, the swimmers have been fostering good swimming skills as well as a strong camaraderie betweeen them. The latest SEA GAMES that was staged in Indonesia proved to be a moment to remember as this event inspired some of our swimmers to perform better in reaching their athletic dreams. In this year, much more swimmers have been added to the team roster and it is to our hope that the Buccaneers Family may grow in number and may the bond stay trong. The Christmas Party ended with a blast to put an end to the year. Also, selected swimmers made their efforts to perform a dance number and unlike last year, it was a big improvement. Overall, this year was unlike any other, full of competitions and good swims from our dearest swimmers. Until the next blog update.......

Buccaneers be in our hearts!!! Cheers!!!

Yesterday, May 29 2010, the CAL group held its first ever competion among their graduates. Many swimmers as well as parents are overwhelmed whith the event. We are also surprised for their unending effort in swimming and those parents who unendingly support thei child/children to make this event possible. It is some sort of an experience. We hoped that they may continue to nurture their God-given talents to glorify His name. We salute you all Graduates of the 2010 Learn-to-Swim Program. Mabuhay! God Bless!!!

Lessons at Ayala Heights (Underwater Dolphin Kick)

2007-12-10T18:30:00.000-08:00

A few days ago, I started coaching the Ayala Harpoons and QCSC buccaneers together at Ayala Heights. One of my lesson was about Micheal Phelps, particularly his ability to swim dolhpin kick underwater fastest in the world during races. I told them the story of the "200 FR Race in Melbourne where he broke yet another World Record, racing Peter Van Den Hougenband" then asked them to watch the video in youtube and just take a look, and it is definitely something to watch.

The drill we did:
20x50m Freestyle on 50" with 10-15 dolphin kick underwater after the turns.

The Challenge:
We had markers 15m, 12.5m, 10m, and a 7.5m markers (with surgucal tubes) on the lanes they were swimming, and on each turn they have to pass that markers, if they missed the marker they'll get stuck on the rubber tubes after the turns.

The Goal:
To kick fast dolphin underwater passed the rubber tubing barrier after each turn on the freestyle swim.

Notes:
The kids seemed to enjoy swimming underwater and pass that rubber tubing tied on the lanes.

Submerged

2006-05-12T08:35:00.000-07:00

This is when i tried all sorts of cameras to create images almost never done in a day to day basis... so I bought a disposable underwater camera, went in the pool while training and took photographs of the most amazing sport I love from a different angle. I really like how a simple camera can capture facial expressions, actions and techniques while swimming and training. after that day i bought a Canon underwater film camera so i could take more submerged image more often.
