Learn to swim in the Philippines in 2009 in the safety of the Nomad Sports Club swimming pool, 16th March through 15th May. This is a call to action for the millions of people in the Philippines who, despite being surrounded by hundreds of thousand of square kilometers of deliciously warm tropical waters, fringed by some of the best swimming beaches in Asia, have never been motivated to experience swimming for fun or even to take swimming lessons and learn to swim.
Or is it some irrational fear of sharks that keeps people on the beach and not in the water? People come up to me almost every weekend, when I announce I am going sailing, and ask, “aren’t you afraid of the sharks?”. If it is that fear then I blame Steven Spielberg, when he portrayed for profit, toothy great white sharks almost completely out of character in his 1975 classic movie, Jaws.
Well, listen up potential swimming champions everywhere: seriously lost great white sharks are seen in Philippine waters off East Mindanao, about once every two hundred years so you have got more chance of being hit by a meteorite than meeting a great white face to face in the Philippines. Second, the few other families of sharks that are actually present in Philippine waters, after the Chinese have had their fill of the fins (the Chinese must have been very hungry, once upon a time, to entertain the thought of boiling the inedible fins of a shark for two days to make a soup that needs so much seasoning that the sharks fins become a superfluous ingredient), are almost completely harmless. The white tip shark on the front page of GetWet-Asia.com is an example of the almost completely harmless reef sharks you can experience first hand when you experience scuba diving in the Philippines. And, to experience scuba diving you must be able to learn to swim for one hundred metres.
