Dear Readers and Friends of Aquatics Cambodia!
In this issue, of our Aquatics Cambodia Sport Magazine, you will read
about Cambodian athletes participation in 4th Asian Indoor &
Martial Arts Games, held in Incheon, South Korea, where Cambodian National Team
swimmer Chamraen Youri, 17 years old, updated his own National Record for 50 m
Freestyle Short Course which is now 25.37 sec (old one was 25.85 set up by
Chamraen Youri at World Championship SC 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey just 6 months
ago, on December 2012). Chamraen also made his Personal Best Time 28.88 sec for
the second distance he swam at this competition - 50 m Butterfly. The time he
did is the best known time for Cambodian swimmers at this distance for Short
Course swimming pool since year 2000. Actually, better time, 28.10 sec, was
shown by Mr. Kiry HEM, who is right now National Team coach, at INTERMEDIATE
distance, from 100 m fly, at 5th WC SC 2000 in Greece. According
FINA rules, when competition held with accordance with FINA standards, with
electronic timing counting after each 25 m for SC and after each 50 m for LC,
so called intermediate distance – the distance what swimmer swam from his start
till the counting point, is eligible, for Personal Best Times and all Records,
including National, Regional, World and so on. Unfortunately, local swimming
federation officials, simply do not understand, and do not want to know, about
such thing, as intermediate distance timing. I remember, that some time ago,
Mr. Hem Thon, who is Secretary General of local swimming body and who himself
gave authority, to decide everything, in swimming sport in Cambodia, including
National Records issues, asked me, why, in National Records Data made for Long
Course by me with assistance and based on statistics of International Swimming
Statistics Association, is listed Chamraen Youri intermediate distance 800 m
timing from 1500 m distance freestyle made at SEA Games 2009 as a record for Men 800 m freestyle. “Did Youri
swim 800 m distance at SEA Games?”- he has asked me. “He not swam particular
that distance at SEA Games, but he swam 800 m freestyle before at another
swimming meet, and as his time for intermediate distance 800 m at SEA Games
became slightly better, and as there are no any other credible statistics
available, for Cambodian swimmers performance at distance 800m freestyle, the
better time, was recognized as National Record. “Never mind, they (FINA &
International Swimming Statistics Association) have their Cambodian National
Records database, but we will have our database”- told Hem Thon to me. And he
added: “For Short Course we do not have and do not need, any National Records
database at all, as inside Cambodia we do not have any standard swimming pool
25 m.” This is, what is actually, going on, with National Records databases,
for Long Course and Short Course, in Khmer Amateur Swimming Federation! I just,
can say, that I deeply, regret, about such kind of approach, from Mr. Hem Thon,
and other members of Hem family, who are solely run National Swimming
Federation, how they want, for many years already, since 1984 when federation
was re-opened by Mr. Hem Thon, after Khmer Rouge time. I remember, that I told
to Mr. Hem Thon, that time, that National Records database is a serious fundamental
issue, what has to be taken care of, with strict accordance with FINA rules,
and just cannot, be two different databases, one made Mr. Hem Thon, just for
Long Course and just for some selected distances, with non-eligible timings for
which he does not have any proof, except his memory, what was in 1960-1970-ss,
and database made with accordance of FINA rules, for all distances, with each
time properly verified with official timing results from competitions made with
accordance of FINA rules. And I told, to Mr. Hem Thon, that as Cambodian
swimmers, periodically participate, in Short Course meets abroad, it must be –
Cambodian National Swimming Records database for Short Course as well. Both
databases, for Men’s National Records, made with strict accordance with FINA
rules, you can see now, at this magazine. So, according this database – time at
intermediate distance 50 m fly from 100 m fly, shown y Mr. Hem Kiry is listed
as National Record. According logics of Mr. Hem Thon, if not count timing for
intermediate distances, the time recently shown by Chamraen Youri, should be
National Record, for 50 m fly! But, as I told – all what we do here – are doing
with strict accordance with FINA rules, and, as we have credible info, that Mr.
Hem Kiry intermediate distance time was recorded as 28.10 sec, when he swam 100
m fly in 2000, and Mr. Chamraen Youri time 28.88 sec he recently shown is 0.78
sec worse, so, we inform, our readers, that Youri made his PBT and his time for
this distance is best since 2000, but National Record time is unchanged for 50
m fly SC and still belongs to Kiry.
I have got many questions, suggestions and inquiries, from swimming sport
and other sports specialists, from Cambodia and from several countries – why,
such situation, in Cambodia, with swimming sport development, when absolutely
everything - from swimmers selection for
participation in international meets, to official data submitting including swimmer’s
personal data as age, PBT and even such things as National Records statistics –
all depend just on the will, and wish, how and what to do, of solely one person
– Mr. Hem Thon, who is 70 years old, who do not know how to use Internet,
email, sms and in many cases, just submit this or that data, from his memory,
without verification with any written data. After such approach, many mistakes
appear, almost in every competition data: our swimmer’s Chamraen Youri age in
SEA Games 2011, became 18 years old in entries data, but in reality he was 15
years old that time. In this Asian Games, Chamraen Youri PBT for 50 m
freestyle, was submitted as 26.52 sec, but, Mr. Hem Thon, by himself, as team’s
manager, saw at World Championship SC 2012 in December, that Youri made new
National Record 25.85 sec at this distance, at distance 50 fly Hem Thon put Youri’s
PBT as 34.25 sec, but in reality, Chamraen Youri PBT for distance 50 fly at SC
was 32.31 sec made in May 2010 in Thailand, so why he submitted wrong PBT data,
why he put venue time, for PBT data for all swimming distances, as Phnom Penh,
if no any Short Course swimming pool in the whole Cambodia??!!! Why, family and
given names, of Cambodian female swimmer HEMTHON Vitiny, who is Mr. Hem Thon
granddaughter, was submitted wrongly, at entries for WC SC 2012, where her
given name Vitiny was submitted as her family name?
I was speaking, just recently by phone, with Mr. Hem Kiry, who is son of
Mr. Hem Thon and National Team coach. In our conversation, I tried, to explain,
to this person, that National Swimming Federation just cannot, be a family
swimming federation, and cannot, anymore, run with such approach, when
everything depend just on one person, when one mistake is doing after another.
That should be, local qualification meets before major international
competitions. That should be, a calendar for competitions, at least for 1 year,
but better for 4 years, as in all other countries. That should be, that a
National Team coach has a training plan. For every member of National Team, so
they would be training according their specialization, according what competition
they are going to participate, not just make training for them all together
with same training process without any goals etc. like it is going now – 1-1.5
hour per session 4-5 times a week and that is all!!! And that such childish
mistakes, with athletes wrong names, age, PBT submission must be stopped once
and forever. Why, Mr. Hem Thon never consults with anybody, before submitting
athletes data, before selecting distances for them??? Why, since Oct 2009, when
I started to witness, local swimming federation activity, I never saw any meet,
between federation members, almost 4 years already passed, but never, members
of local swimming federation met and discussed, what was going on, in their
federation, and how to improve, that disastrous situation with swimming sport
development in Cambodia? Mr. Kiry told to me, that they have problem with
manpower in local federation but, he could not answer, if so, why his father
Mr. Hem Thon, block all attempts by others to do something in federation, also,
Kiry told, that he knows a lot, as he visited many countries, but he cannot,
use his knowledge for swimming sport development in Cambodia as no conditions
for it, and finally, he repeated again, to me, as he said already before, that
“we have what we have, and if, somebody not like, so can leave federation, can
leave National Team and try to find something better”. Also he told to me, that
he not like, that “I do many claims”. And hang up the phone.
I think, I have answered now, to all of interested people, who asked me,
why such situation, with sport swimming development in Cambodia. I do what I
can, I solely run this magazine and sport club, contributing huge amount of my
own time and some own money as well, I assembled several so needed databases
for records and personal best times, and made it available, for everybody, in
Internet, absolutely free of charge, I try to give information, about sport
competitions, what are happening in Cambodia and about international meets
where Cambodian athletes participate, and this information – is credible, fair
and without any pre-justice. Till this moment – nobody among local swimming
federation officials, or other local sport bodies, gave to me any piece, of
information, or simply, said – thank you, Mr. Vladimir Maximov, for
contributing your time and your efforts, for developing swimming sport in
Cambodia. Even opposite – I saw that many of them, are very unhappy, that
somebody, started to do something and started to tell the truth, about what is
in reality, going on, with swimming sport development in this country. In
contrary – I have got some morale support and help with info, from
international swimming bodies and from some swimming federations from abroad
and some foreign swimming specialist as well. Thank you all for it.
However whatever, 7 months have passed already since 4th of
December 2012 when we launched online version of our Aquatics Cambodia Sport
Magazine.
Since that time, 32 issues were published. Some of them contain just one
article, but many contains many articles, important databases, also many
pictures and recently, we successfully put several documentary films as well,
in our issues. Already almost 4,000 people read our magazine, we had almost
6500 pageviwers from 81 country around the world, the last new country was
Ghana from Africa. People from 4 local provinces read our magazine, not just in
capital Phnom Penh, and this is very promising, as showing to us, that there
are many people, around the country, who are interested in sport development, in
particular swimming sport, and, hopefully, sooner or later, situation with
swimming sport development, will start, to change for the better, and will be,
at least like in neighboring Vietnam or Thailand, or Indonesia…
Also, one time again, I would like to tell, that there is very important,
to push, local federation officials, from Hem family – to start to do,
qualification meets, before selection of local athletes to represent Cambodia
at international stage, so it can be done by merit, not by family ties or
things other than athlete’s achievements.
Everybody, who would like to help us, with
any kind of contributions – both financial or with technical expertise or
whatever, or advices and information sharing, can contact us through email:

Wish Good Health to All of Readers,

Swimming in Ancient Times
Swimming was formed naturally by the
requirements of military training and living in general. In primitive times it
had economic values such as hunting, fishing and served as a method of
transportation and in the military, it was used for training. Especially in
tropical regions, where contact with water was frequent, swimming naturally was
developed.
The earliest record of swimming dates back to a wall painting in Libya from around 9000 B.C. Swimming was also common with women in the ancient Egypt civilization based in Thebes, and houses of nobility were equipped with swimming pools. Many Egyptian hieroglyphics also portrays swimming forms and in Persia, there are historic records that mention that swimming was also used in military training. In this figure, an enemy appears to be fleeing away by using the overhand stroke.

Many Egyptian hieroglyphics also portrays swimming forms and in Persia, there are historic records that mention that swimming was also used in military training. In this figure, an enemy appears to be fleeing away by using the overhand stroke.
Modern Swimming
The developments of modern swimming techniques were based on forms of swimming competitions that focused on elements such as speed and endurance. Through the first half of 19th century, the only forms of swimming to exist were breaststroke and sidestroke. But by the second half of the 19th century through the improvements of breaststroke; advancing by stirring the water with the upper body and arms, sidestroke was developed and another form; an alternative sidestroke was developed by a British swimmer called John Trudgen. The swimming method of this stroke is mostly upon one side, making an overhand movement, lifting the arms alternately out of the water. When the left arm is above the head, the legs spread apart for a kick; as the left arm comes down the legs extend and are then brought together with a sharp scissor kick. This stroke is called a Trudgen stroke named after the founder and was included in swimming competition from 1873.
Breaststroke became an official sport discipline to swimming competitions since 1903. Medley and butterfly was developed by 1930, however the strokes were prohibited on 1947 and from 1954 breaststroke and butterfly were considered to be a separate individual discipline. After World War II, freestyle was continuously developed. Especially enhancements in the technical aspects were noticeable. Freestyle’s initial recovery action recommended the elbow to be flatten, however the arm movements were enhanced to lift the arm strait up in order to prevent shaking while trying to balance the body. International Swimming Federation (FINA) was founded in 1908.
Short Course discipline is a
swimming competition that is conducted in a 25m length pool and was an
unfamiliar swimming discipline in Korea and some other countries. However,
popularity of this sport in United States and Europe is considerable due to
lively excitement provided by the competition’s short distance. Generally, Short
Course generates faster records than normal swimming disciplines. According to
FINA, average of .52 second is reduced per each turn when compared with the
normal swimming disciplines. Due to the pool being half of 50m, there is twice
as much turns to be made which makes an “opportunity discipline” for athletes
who excel in turns.

Post-factum Comments to the article
by Aquatics Cambodia:
First of all, some additional facts:
1. Indonesia
originally finished 4th at the 4X50 m medley men's relay, but was
disqualified after Indra
Gunawan tested positive for Methylhexanamine.
2. Indonesia
originally won the bronze medal at the 4X100 m freestyle men's relay, but was
disqualified after Guntur
Pratama Putera tested positive for Methylhexanamine.
3. Guntur
Pratama Putera of Indonesia originally finished 11th at
the Men's 50 Fly, but was disqualified after he tested positive for Methylhexanamine. Therefore - our country swimmer Chamraen Youri
Maximov place became 23rd, after disqualification of the disgraced
Indonesian swimmer, because of doping using.
4. Indra
Gunawan of Indonesia originally finished 6th at the Men's
100 Breaststroke, but was disqualified after he tested positive for Methylhexanamine.
5. Guntur
Pratama Putera of Indonesia originally finished 14th at
the Men's 50 Freestyle, but was disqualified after he tested positive for Methylhexanamine. Therefore - our country swimmer Chamraen Youri
Maximov place became 26th, after disqualification of the disgraced
Indonesian swimmer, because of doping using.Aquatics
6. Indonesian
team for Men's 4X100 Medley relay was disqualified after Indra
Gunawan tested positive for Methylhexanamine.
It is a pity, that Indonesian swimmers, were using doping, and
both made disgraced not only themselves, but Indonesian National Team as well. Indonesia
lost several medals, because of it, at this competition. I saw both swimmers,
in competitions in Jakarta, I saw them in SEA Games, but I never could imagine,
that they would use doping for improving their performance. This is totally
unacceptable! What is really amazing, that they continued to take part, in
international competitions, such as SEA Games 2013, and no any penalty or
suspension from competitions, were used, to punish such shameful actions of
that swimmers! Both of them performed in SEA Games 2013 in Myanmar in December
2013, after just several months have passed since July 2013, when they were
caught with doping using, and nobody told even a word, that it would give, a very
bad example, for other swimmers in South-East Asia. We are here, in Cambodia - for
the clean sport, free from doping.

Talented, young sports reporters are to
be recruited for the 17th Asian Games being held in Incheon, South Korea, from
September 19 to October 4 next year, officials from the National Olympic
Committee of Cambodia revealed Sunday.
While the NOCC will facilitate the
recruitment process, the Olympic Council of Asia is funding the drive and will
make the final judgment on applications. The Incheon Asian Games Organising
Committee will also help launch the talent search and outline conditions of
recruitment.
NOCC secretary-general Vath Chamroeun
told the Post they were looking for young, skilled writers who have a good
working knowledge of many sports to join the region’s biggest multi-sport
event, which aims to benefit young people through the Olympic Movement.
Three local organisations, children’s
charity Pour un Sourire d’Enfant, Zaman International School and Northbridge
International School, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the NOCC
to provide candidates for consideration. They will be asked to submit reports
in English, with assessments running October 20-22.
Students from other institutions are
also encouraged to apply, providing they have appropriate qualifications and
literacy standards.
NOCC advisor Ken Gadaffi claimed this
first round of recruitment would involve hundreds of applicants, especially
from Zaman International School and the PSE organisation due to their
established collaboration with the NOCC on sharing the Olympic message with
youngsters here.
Around 500 to a thousand students are
expected to try out for the opportunity in Incheon.
