    11th Asian Age Group Swimming Championships sa 2023 selyado na

    Pinagtibay ng Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) at Asia Swimming Federation (AASF) ang kanilang partnership para sa pagho-host ng bansa ng 11th Asian Age Group Swimming Championships sa world-class New Clark City (NCC) Aquatics Center sa Capas, Tarlac sa Nobyembre ng susunod na taon (2023).
     
    Pinirmahan ni POC President Rep. Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino at AASF Secretary General Taha Sulaiman Al Kishry ang memorandum of agreement para sa hosting chores nitong Miyerkules sa Aquatics Center kung saan kasama nila ang Clark Development Corporation President and CEO, lawyer Agnes Devenadera at Senior Vice Presidente para sa Corporate Services Group na si Arrey Perez.
     
    “I would like to thank the AASF for giving us the opportunity to host a big event like this,”  pahayag ni Tolentino. “It’s really hard to bid to host an international event like swimming.”
     
    Pinili ng AASF ang 'Pinas kaysa sa Thailand at Vietnam bilang host dahil sa world-class na pasilidad ng NCC sa Tarlac.
     
    Mahigit 1,400 batang swimmers mula sa 42 bansa sa Asya ang inaasahang sasabak sa kompetisyon. 
     
    Ang continental competition ay pangalawa sa dalawang pangunahing internasyonal na hostilidad pagkatapos ng 30th Southeast Asian Games noong 2019 na gaganapin sa FINA-standard swimming at diving pools.
     
     
    “With this kind of venue [NCC], we are lucky to be chosen,” sambit ni Tolentino, na pinuno din ng PhilCycling at Tagaytay City. “We, the POC, BCDA and PSI [Philippine Swimming Inc.] will work together to achieve a successful hosting.”
     
    Sumaksi rin sa seremonya sina AASF technical committee head Ibrahim Naddeh, POC legal chief Wharton Chan at Secretary-General Bones Floro at MTD Philippines president Patrick Nicholas David.
     
    “The facilities here are excellent from the warm up to the competition pool,” sabi ni Al Kishry, na aniya pa'y ang Aquatics Center ay Olympic standard. “There’s nothing you can ask for about the venue.”
     
    Sinabi ni Al Kishry na inaasahan niyang dadalo sa torneo  ang mga matataas na opisyal mula sa FINA, ang world governing body ng swimming.
     
    Ang mga kumpetisyon  sa swimming ay kinapalooban ng diving, artistic [synchronized] at water polo, kabilang ang isang kategorya para sa mga lalaki at babae na may edad  11.
     
    Sinabi  ni Perez na ang isang taong  paghahanda ay makakatulong sa POC, BCDA at NCAA para sa matagumpay na pagho-host ng mga kampeonato.
     
    “It’s not easy to host an event like the Asian championships. It requires a year of preparation and dry runs to make it better,” ani Perez.
     
    Ang iba pang pasilidad ng NCC sa buong mundo, ang Athletes Village, ay tirirahan ng mga manlalangoy, coach at opisyal.
     
    Ang mga partikular na petsa ng kumpetisyon sa Nobyembre 2023 ay iaanunsyo sa mga susunod na araw.
