Record holder and professional swimmer, Phillip Seidler, 25, announces upcoming open water swim dash. The event will be hosted in Swakopmund on the 19 December at the renowned Mole beach.
The swim dash is aimed at getting every swimmer involved, introducing a variety of categories.
The solo swim, will cater to the brave and challenging swimmers. The two-team swim is a relay swim, where two athletes partner up and swim one kilometre each which then adds up to 2-kilometers. The four-team swim will have four athletes partner and complete the challenge of 500-meters each, which then adds up to 2-kilometers. An additional category will bring fun and excitement cater to all swimmers and non-swimmers.
The swim dash will collaborate with the Swakopmund Academy Beach Volleyball, for a beach volleyball event at the same venue, making the whole event even more significant and appealing to different people with varied interests. “The main goal of the event is to motivate and encourage the upcoming generation of athletes to strive for greatness in their respective sports,” he says.
Seidler shares his dream and vision with his co-founder and brother, Daniel Seidler to promote open water swimming and sports in Namibia. They aim to overcome the lack of events by organizing an exciting and professionally executed swim event that caters to swimmers of all levels.
Seidler recently received gold, during his participation in the African Beach Games in Tunisia. He further explains that winning takes a lot more than just racing. It takes a lot of preparation, which many people don’t see. It takes a strong team to achieve the best result. “I believe I had the best support from my team which consisted of my brother who is my coach and manager, Suzelle, my physio, and the team of Namibia National Olympic Committee (NNOC),” he says.
Subsequently he will be realizing a book titled, “Swimming Thousands of Miles Upstream” towards the end of the year.
The book tells a deeply inspiring story that not only aims to touch the hearts of Namibians but also resonates with individuals worldwide. It chronicles the journey of a young Namibian, who was raised in Swakopmund and trained by his mother, as he relentlessly pursues his ultimate dream of competing in the Olympic Games. The book is crafted in such a way that readers from all walks of life, whether athletes or professionals in the business world, can find personal connections to the challenges, triumphs, and perseverance portrayed within its pages.
