Our very own swimming phenom, Issa P., will be diving into pool in a few hours racing for the Canadian Forces Team at the 4th Conseil International du Sport Militair (CISM) World Military Games. The swimming competition is taking place in the 50m Aquatic Centre pool, part of the the Gachibowli Stadium located on the outskirts of Hyderabad, India.
Hyderabad is 9.5 hours ahead of Ontario, so as I write it is just before 8am Monday morning the 15th of October. According to the WMG web site swimming schedule (see Swimming Event Info), Issa will be swimming in two qualifying rounds this morning:
- 100m Breaststroke – Heat 2, Lane 7 at 09:55 and
- 200m Individual Medley – Heat 2, Lane 1 at 11:10.
Finals for those events are scheduled for later in the afternoon.
Issa will also be swimming in the 200m Breaststroke on the 16th and the 50m Breaststroke on the 19th.
The results will be posted on the Games web site. No doubt we may also be able to get some updates (and maybe photos) from Roger C. if Issa has access to the internet.
GOOD LUCK ISSA from all the BEASTS at Base Borden!!
