SAN JOSE DE BUENAVISTA, Antique – The province of Antique will host the qualifying leg of the Philippine Swimming League (PSL) on Sept. 29.
Antique provincial tourism officer Jose Ramlo Villaluna said the event will be participated in by swimmers from around the country who are vying to compete in an international competition in Dubai in December.
“We are glad that Antique has been chosen as host of the qualifying leg,” Villaluna said in an interview Monday.
He said the event in a way will promote the province to swimmers around the country who are also considered as local tourists.
The competition will be held at the newly-renovated Binirayan swimming pool.
“Those who would qualify will then compete in the international competition in Dubai on December 8-9,” Villaluna, whose office has been tasked to assist the PSL, said.
Meanwhile, the Binirayan swimming pool in San Jose de Buenavista was temporarily closed for a month last July 14 so it could be repaired and cleaned up.
It is the first Olympics-sized swimming pool in Western Visayas that has anti-wave lane lines installed.
The Binirayan swimming pool was also used in last year’s Palarong Pambansa hosted by the province. (PNA)
