Tumble turn

Google defines tumble turn, also known as a flip turn, as “one of the turns in swimming, used to reverse the direction in which the person is swimming. It is done when the swimmer reaches the wall or the end of the swimming pool but still has one or more lengths to swim.”

But why name my column as such, you may ask. The answer is quite simple. It is borne out of my frustration because despite being a certified ocean lover, I still can’t…..do the tumble turn! I told Mon that winning the overall title was hardly a surprise because as host, the Philippines had the liberty of choosing the calendar of sports to be contested in the two-week sports enclave including but not limited to infusing events that only Filipino athletes are familiar with. Throw in the huge homecourt advantage and the overall crown was but a foregone conclusion.

Mon, however, said the PSC is setting a modest target for the 2023 SEA Games in Vietnam. To finish within the top 3 would be enough reason to celebrate.
