Hi Forum dwellers,
I am an American of Chinese origin and have been a competitive masters swimmer for a number of years. Now that my career with the Army Research Labs is almost over, I would like to go to China as a tourist and to compete in a masters meet (Beijing - Birds Nest would be uber-cool).
I wrote to our US FINA rep about masters swimming and competition in China but never heard from her.
So I am seeking any information about masters swimming in China. Hopefully some reader will be able to post some useful web links.
Yes, I have done the search engine thing before posting here - but have yet to uncover any helpful websites that focus on Chinese masters swimming. It may be that masters swimming in China is very limited - or - I am looking in the wrong places. One would think that the Chinese would have a vibrant masters program but they are poorly represented at FINA Worlds (in contrast to the Japanese).
BTW, I can't read Chinese (it wasn't the thing to learn growing up during the cold war), so please don't point me to Chinese language masters swimming websites.
Thank you,
Philipp
