policy, borrowing privileges from the video library and the privilege

SWIM MEET IN SINGAPORE
 From Singapore Masters
The Standard Chartered Masters Swimming Series will stage its first 
event of the 2007 season with the Asia Pacific Masters Swimming Meet 
from 9-11 Feb 2007 in Singapore. With the support of title sponsor 
Standard Chartered Bank, we are looking to roll out a series of 
masters swimming events to grow local and regional interest in 
masters swimming.

We would like to extend an invitation for you to participate / 
encourage your membership to participate and assist us in promoting 
the event to anyone who may be interested in taking part in masters 
swimming. We encourage adult swimmers of all ages and ability to come 
take part in the spirit of fitness, fun and friendship. The event 
takes place a week prior to Chinese New Year and it will give 
overseas visitors a chance to come see the festivities and savour the 
Chinese New Year atmosphere in Chinatown.

Your help in spreading the word about Masters Swimming and upcoming 
events, to friends in Singapore and around the region would be much 
appreciated. We'd like to get participants from the Asia Pacific 
region to come to Singapore for the event. We've had interest from 
Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan so far and we're looking to contact 
swimming enthusiasts from Japan, Korea and the region to come 
participate as well. The website is the best source of information 
and we will update the site periodically. Please share the website 
link with anyone who may be interested.
