Fina swimming World Championships 2007

I got to admit. The above mentioned event which was held here in Singapore yesterday was quite disastrous. In terms of lifeguards, they didn't have surfboards nor kayaks for my friends on duty to go out to sea. Instead the canoests were out there.. dunno doing what i guess. The lifeguards just stayed on the beach and walked around...

The event itself, kinda felt disorganized.
The goodie bag.. nothing inside.. and the registration fee is $60!! for a 5km swim..
What you get is a lousy quality shirt, a finisher medal, notebook, photo album, post it pad.. tat's about it

Somehow i felt robbed of my money, and i didnt even manage to complete my 5km swim cause in the middle of the swim a super heavy downpour came and they had to cancel to whole thing..

But i still got my finisher medal though, they just gave it to everyone..











Well anyway, the stormy weather stopped the whole event, so in the end we didn't get to complete our 5km.. oh well.. so sad.. too bad.. Next time though, the organizers ought to make this event a little bigger. I mean, world class swimmers are here to swim 10km.. and although it's boring to watch them swim 10km, there ought to be carnivals and stuff right.. should make it a bigger event? Humph, then again, maybe i don't know the things behind the scenes.. so.. don't complain so much ah..
