Ok I know that this is one of the most discussed topics in our sport, and the most of you believe that one day well reach our goal, but I want to discuss about it…Ok I think there is not only one answer to it. Maybe we can say it’s because we don’t have money, or perhaps there aren’t Companies interested to sponsor us…or it is possible that because the Classical Swimming is already present into the Games, two similar acquatic sports are too many. Then there is the “2 minutes before the start” that has a not very well “TV appeal” (I mean when a finswimmer should wear his own fin, so with soap, etc etc), but more simply, we have to wait days before we can get a Cmas World Cup Round results…

Today the Finswimming Cmas World Cup Round 5 will begin. The first competitions will be 4000 long distance male and women. The location is in Portocolom-Felanitx (Majorca) – Illes Balears-Spain.
