Congratulations!
Daniel Coakley broke the
South East Asian GAMES record with a time of 22.80 seconds.
The old record set in 2005 was 22.98 by Arwut C. Napasean, the
Thai champ who was in lane 5.
Daniel broke out at least 2 feet
in front of everyone else and just powered right to the wall
never giving a inch of his lead in front of 2,000 screaming fans.
Daniel just went all out for a clear
victory.

This
is a great article
about swimming in the Adver
tiser. Skippa Diaz. "It's
a lifelong activity, and it relaxes the body and mind,"
Diaz said. Diaz also said the training and values he learned
as a youth swimmer helped him greatly in football. "It gives
you big-time strength," Diaz said. "It's very demanding,
with practices in the morning and afternoon - a double-whammy.
But it gave me that work ethic, the belief that if you want to
be good in anything, you gotta put in the time."

- The
Story of the butterfly
- A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
- One day a small opening appeared.
- He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it
struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
- Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.....
