Jasmine Alkhaldi the top female swimmer in 2013. This site is now beginning to branch out into Swimming. As my role in the PSC involves data on various sports there has been a demand from the swimming community and fellow researchers for this data. Their was a further blow to Philippine Swimming when the organizing commitee of Myanmar changed the deadline of submission from November 15 to October 10. Meaning they could no longer rely on a few major swimming champs between those dates for qualification. I was assisted by Hiroshi who has helped compile the latest ranking lists for South East Asian swimming. After much consultation we decided we will be including Converted swimming times from yards to Meters (mainly done by Fil-Heritage swimmers in the United States) as they have been used before for qualification for SEA Games. Its important to note alot of PSI and Non Psi members felt converted times were justifiable for performance and qualification purposes. Hiroshi has kindly noted the converted swimming times and what the previous time was before the conversion. We have also used the national ranking lists of Phil Swim which can be found here. Hiroshi has also included combined relay times based on the best 4 swimmers which he stated was traditional practice in swimming.
