Finswimming Inter-class Competition in UP Diliman 2nd Semester SY 2012-2013

This second semester's 2012-2013 school year finswimming inter-class was sanctioned by the Philippine Finswimming Federation, Inc. Truly supported by the county's national sport association of finswimming, all fins and snorkels were lent to the students for the whole semester and during competition day. Secretary General of PFFI, Mary Ann Reyes conducted the inter-class together with finswimming coaching instructors, Ivan Isada and Thor Manlangit. A total of four classes of service PE for finswimming joined the sanctioned event. 

The University of the Philippines Finswimming Competition is a program to develop, find more potential finswimmers and of course, to help propagate the sport of finswimming for entry level to the sport. As of now, finswimming is already recognized in the SEA Games and has now paved a future for new and experienced finswimmers.

Finswimming in the UP Pool

Today marks the day I will be teaching my first finswimming class in UP. I think it would be rather cool to start teaching another water sport other than my basic swimming classes. 

Finswimming is swimming with an aid of a bi-fin or monofin powered by a swimmer's own muscles. Finswimming is known to have both recreational and fitness benefits including muscular fitness especially for the abdominals, back and leg muscles, improved swimming mechanics and rehabilitation purposes.

Finswimming in the University of the Philippines Diliman is offered as a service PE to its students.
