2018-2020: Revive a Masters Swimming Class Event

I had decided to learn to swim in 2008 by enrolling to Bert Lozada Swim School in Philippine Columbian Association in Paco, Manila. It was a great experience that this year, 2010, I decided to swim regularly.

It had become a fun hobby as I got to meet a lot of people and learn a lot from them.

Unfortunately, swim meets or swim competitions in the Philippines are limited to the young ones. If someone 25 and above watch to compete in a swimming event. They have to do biking and running to in the form of a triathlon. For someone who discovered swimming as a new passion at a late age of 23. I don't have an opportunity to compete for the fun of it kinda like doing a fun run at 5km, 10km or so.

At a pinoy forum, I asked the experienced swimmers if an event like a fun run for older swimmers. There is such a thing as a masters swimming class, pertaining to those at age 25 and above.

So I googled it, I found a masters swimming class event last year held in Laguna. But there isn't any new announcement in the organizer's werbsite so I want to revive such an event. Since this takes a lot of time and energy, I will do this when I retire from my 8 to 6 job.

Lifetime: Always be healthy

At the beginning of this year 2010, I decided to seriously aim to lose weight...

Mostly because it has been my goal for a lot of years before this year and I always saw my self being healthy and growing old without any disease...

My grandfather had died of kidney, heart and other diseases. It was a sad time for us when he went to heaven and left us here. At that time, my father was diagnosed with diabetes and had a stroke. It was greatly a trying time. Good thing! We had passed that... My father is a healthy diabetic.. Also a big reason why most of the food at home lack taste..

That was an experience that impacted me greatly as I don't want to be in the same disposition. I want to die of old age, not of disease. I want to be able to have the option to eat cakes on special occasions.

So I started working out..

Google and You Tube was a great tool for me to get to know techniques on building muscles and losing fat. After 6 months, I now have a normal weight and body fat percentage of less than 20%. I also incurred a swimming hobby, which is a lot of fun and gave way for me to meet new friends..

In my lifetime, I want to be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle... which in theory should offer me a long life...
