PROMISING tankers Behrouz Mohammad Mojdeh and Mikhail Jasper Mojdeh will spearhead the Swim League Philippines’ (SLP) campaign in the Asian Open School Invitational (AOSI) Aquatics Championships Bangkok 2024 slated on February 2-6 at the Assumption University Aquatic Center (ABAC) inside the Suvarnabhumi Campus in Bangkok, Thailand.
Behrouz Mohammad and Mikhail Jasper are the younger brothers of World Junior Championships veteran Micaela Jasmine Mojdeh, who is slated to compete in a separate international tournament in Beijing, China.
Behrouz Mohammad and Mikhail Jasper are focusing on improving their times and hopefully become the country’s pride in swimming.
They are trying to balance their studies and training as Behrouz Mohammad and Mikhail Jasper aim to replicate the feat of their Jasmine, tagged as the country’s “water beast.”
“It’s a good exposure for our young swimmers to gauge their skills. It’s part of our program to select swimmers from different parts of the country and send them abroad,” said Joan Mojdeh, SLP chairman and Philippines’ Behrouz Elite Swimming Team (BEST) team manager.
Also in the team is Palarong Pambansa gold medalist Aishel Cid Evangelista, who is also a veteran of international competitions and owner of local national junior records.
Heading the delegation are SLP President Fred Galang Ancheta and SLP Executive Director Philbert Papa along with veteran coaches from different parts of the country.
A total of 344 swimmers will be seeing action in Bangkok swimfest with 157 tankers coming from SLP-Team Philippines and 187 bets from Central Northern Luzon CAR Swimming Coaches Association-SLP.
“It is with immense honor and great pride that we present to you the Swim League Philippines National Delegation to the Asian Open School Invitational Aquatics Championships Bangkok 2024 on Feb. 2-6, 2024 at the Assumption University Aquatic Center, Suvarnabhumi Campus, Thailand,” said Ancheta.
The swimmers made it to the Bangkok-bound national junior swimming team after qualifying in several qualifying tournaments held in Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao.
