Warmest Greetings from Persatuan Renang Amatur Kedah.

Firstly we would like to sincerely apologize for any shortcomings faced by participating teams. Indeed it was an eye opener and a great experience for the new Committee Members and we would like to thank all of you for having provided us that moment.

We take your team's participation as a gesture of support to Persatuan Renang Amatur Kedah effort of lighting the sporting spirit amongst young children.

The vibrant swimmers with their vivacious siblings and equally exuberant parents were fascinating. It was not a day for state meet champions to steal the limelight. It was supposed to be a day for the 'champions of tomorrow' to feel the joy of being given salutations on the winner's podium today.

Dont read me wrong, its the spirit of sharing victory and not the winnings, medals or breaking records! That feeling of pride and joy of winning in true sporting spirit will drive their young hearts to greater achievements.

There will be no greater satisfaction to the committee of PRAK than being these young children's plunging board to success.

I have attached the results of Novice 2013 for your compilation.

Thanks

From: Ravindran Renganathan

To All,

Warmest greetings from Persatuan Renang Amatur Kedah.

Firstly, on behalf of Persatuan Renang Amatur Kedah, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for promoting this event. Your direct or indirect involvement has been a great help in achieving an overwhelming response of 322 participants.

This year we had our special guest from the Bangkok Christian College Swimming Club. Their participation has boosted our event to an international level. Most clubs were very appreciative of international level of participation as they strongly believe it to be a positive and healthy competitive environment for their swimmers.

Secondly, I humbly apologise in the event of any shortcomings or hiccups on PRAK's part during the 2 days meet. Our individual mannerism might have offended any one individual person but as a whole, the association's goal was to ensure the success of the Championship. Any such error was unintentional and our humble and sincere apology is extended to all team managers, coaches, parents & swimmers and hoping for it to be accepted in the kindred spirit of sportsmanship.

Please find the overall results attached.

Finally, the time has come for me to bid all adieu. Personally, it had been a wonderful 2 days for me. I thank the Almighty for having given me the opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones.

Till we meet again.

Thank you, Terima Kasih, XieXie, Nandri and GOD Bless

Ravindran

Report 5th Novice Swimming Competition

Knowing this event from my friend only couple of days before closing date. An novice event, open for primary schools in Kedah. Offer 38 events in breast stroke and free style.

I registered Alauddin and his classmate Fatin Afiqah under their school. Alauddin took 3 event 25m, 50m and 100m breast stroke while Fatin 25m and 50m breast stroke too.

The event held at Pusat Akuatik, Gunung Keriang, Alor Star. Located in middle of paddy field, a bit remote from town. No sign or banner of the event around. Maybe this sport not popular among public. Only attended by parents and organizer committee.

This is first time he participate in swimming competition and first time i'm watching the competition.. After watching a few event - fuyoh! lajunya bebudak ni berenang. His first event was 25m breast stroke and he was left behind half 25m pool size. The winner broke 2 years record.

Second event was 100m breast stroke - 4 laps of 25meter pool size. I told him to swam easy. He still trying his best during first 2 laps but on 3rd lap he looks tired and he grap/rest at pool end before continue for last lap. And he finished last. He looks disappointed. He said he really exhausted and nearly to cry about finish last. I cheer him up and told him enjoy his next event. Later i found he was disqualified because rest at pool end on 3rd lap.

Third event 50m breast stroke. 12 swimmers divide into 2 groups. He was in first group with 4 swimmers. He still gave his best in last event. He swam faster and stronger compare previous event and finish 2nd. He looks happier after jump out of pool and i gave him a hi-5 - at least he smile again. Later i found his time was beaten by other swimmers in 2nd group.

Majority of the kids came and represent a swimming club. They had and undergo a proper swimming technique for speed. Compare to Alauddin - we just a sendirian berhad.

My main point, I want to give Alauddin + Jasmin a swimming skill which i wanted since childhood. Takat terjun tiruk 4~5meter ke sungai tarak masalah for me. But swimming, need proper training from coach/guru.

After 42km run marathons, i decide and dare to dream again. A relay triathlon with my kids Alauddin and Jasmin. Thats will make this Run.Mix.Burn! blog kept on alive for another decade - Ya! one fine day.. one fine day....
