Swim and Waterpolo Club
Over 90 athletes from 12 Yugoslav swimming clubs competed in three categories: young pioneers (1988 and younger), pioneers (1986-1987) and cadets (1984-1985). Pioneers swam 50 m distance and cadets 100 m in all disciplines. Extremely hot and dry day in Jagodina didn't enable good results (at over 40 deg.C). Also this period is mainly locked for all swimming club's activities .

Regrettably, this was the last meeting where Mr. Igor Rasula, our captain and the best swimmer were having two trainers by himself -:)   In this summer period Mr. Sergio Filipovic helped us with some new advice, the snaps in technique, especially in the training process. Also he brought a new optimism for the next season. From September 1, 2000 he is going to take "Gente di Nuoto" Club from Ascoli Piceno (Italy). We wish him and his new team many successes and the best places.

 PROLOGUE:
Mr. Ilic, Coach and Mr. Rasula, swimmer
And this is one of the last event in the season 1999/2000. Mr. Ilic's and Mr. Rasula's 6 month mutual cooperation and really hard work in poor condition here, from February 1, 2000 have brought the successes. Here in Jagodina in this worthy meeting they participated in one of the last SC competition. Swim Star 2000 swimming club will go on for sure. The Presidency of our Club hope that the period till the end of 2000 will give us more opportunities for the new happiness. We would like to overcome many troubles firstly with funds and the conditions for training process. Hope we'll have a luck to engage and bring some more swimming talents to our Club. Thanks to Mr. Dejan Ilic and Mr. Igor Rasula for all their understanding. We're very proud of you both.

Olivera Mladenovic, president
