SEA What Can Be Done In Indonesia
The Southeast Asian Games test event in Indonesia was conducted flawlessly. Thanks to the leadership of Liza Januar and Ray Sani, the organization was “brilliant and the full complement of competent technical officials required to conduct an international open water swimming competition efficiently and safely were in attendance. They were superb; it was a magnificent success,” said International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame inductee Chris Guesdon.As the world of open water swimming continues to explode, the passion, professionalism and presence of competent, experience officials will always be greatly appreciated by swimmers, coaches and administrators. Together, open water swimming enthusiasts on the water, in the water and along the water can help the sport grow in an ever-improving manner.
