</font></div>
<div><font face="Tahoma" size="-1">We would like to extend an
invitation for you to participate / encourage your membership to
participate and assist us in promoting the event to anyone who may be
interested in taking part in masters swimming. We encourage adult
swimmers of all ages and ability to come take part in the spirit of
fitness, fun and friendship. The event takes place a week prior to
Chinese New Year and it will give overseas visitors a chance to come
see the festivities and savour the Chinese New Year atmosphere in
Chinatown.<br>

about Masters Swimming and upcoming events, to friends in Singapore
and around the region would be much appreciated. We'd like to get
participants from the Asia Pacific region to come to Singapore for the
event. We've had interest from Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan so far
and we're looking to contact swimming enthusiasts from Japan, Korea
and the region to come participate as well. The website is the best
