I TROFEO CIUDAD DE FERROL
XVIII MEMORIAL JUAN VARELA
| A New Era |
The Trofeo de Natacion Memorial Juan Varela was celebrated on april 4th. 1998.
This swim meet is a sports event totally consolidated, and very prestigious in Galicia. The making of this year's edition demonstrates that when there is a group of people determined to work on a project, it can be done no matter how difficult it may seem.
The people that worked on this year's XVIII edition, wanted to expand it and have it recognized nationally. Because of all this a new era has begun, in which, without losing its name, the swim meet increases both its quality and budget, being now the representative swim meet of Ferrol's swimming.
The level of competition is reflected in the meet records (shown below). It is hoped that most of these records are broken in the next edition, and for that the organization counts on the participation of all the teams invited.
All the effort for the planing and seeking of a budget are totally justified if the name of our city and our swim team is known nationally through this sport event.
