Welcome to ROOKIE RIPPLES:
The 3rd Mayor Jaycee Dy Jr. Swim Cup.
To all our swimmers, parents, coaches, officials, volunteers, and lovers of the sport, thank you for being here today. May your passion, dedication, and support continue to strengthen the swimming community and inspire the next generation.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Honorable Mayor Jaycee Dy Jr. and the City Government of Cauayan for their unwavering support of youth development and sports.
We also recognize the Northeastern Philippines Swimming Coaches Association under the leadership of Coach Elmer Corpuz, together with Coach Rolando Sarmiento and Biboy Asturias, Directors of Swim League Philippines, and Secretary General and President, respectively, of CNLCSCA. Their commitment continues to create opportunities and pathways for young swimmers across the region.
Our sincere appreciation goes to our host teams: Galleon Tankers Isabela, Alpha Falcons Swim Team, ECC Swim Excellence, Blue Sailfish Swim Club, Torpedo Ray Swim Club, New Arapaima Swim Club, Golden Splashers, and Monsoon Swim Team for helping make this event possible.
Swimming is more than a sport. It teaches discipline, courage, resilience, and respect values that build strong individuals, united communities, and a stronger nation. Every race is an opportunity to dream bigger, work harder, and prove that with faith, perseverance, and determination, anything is possible.
May this competition inspire every swimmer to pursue excellence, honor God through their efforts, and proudly carry the hopes and aspirations of our beloved Philippines.
United We Swim. ๐ต๐ญ
Let the Games Begin!"
