Who says you’re too old to learn how to swim?
John “Rambo” Chicano, who won our first gold medal at the 30th SEA Games in the triathlon event, was a cyclist who did not know how to swim when his mentors decided he should be a triathlete.
According to an Inquirer report, Chicano was working in a bike shop that was owned by a coach of our national triathlon team. Since Chicano’s boss knew that he was a competitive cyclist, he thought he could transform him into a triathlete.
And that involved teaching Chicano to swim from nothing. He learned in three months.
