    “I am really excited to swim here in Dubai. Before going here, I already set my mind
    that I need to perform well this time since I’ll be competing against the best swimmers
    from different countries. And I’m happy that I made my family, my team and of course
    our country proud again,” said Mojdeh.

    “I still have four more events and I’m looking forward to winning more medals. We’ll
    see. Traveling abroad helps me a lot to improve my skills and at the same time see the
    beauty outside the Philippines. Going to theme parks as a reward makes me even more
    motivated to swim faster,” she added.

    three silver medals in girls’ 12­year 400m IM (6:03.85), 50m freestyle (29.69) and 50m

    1:18.15).

    “It was a great start. Mojdeh was just fantastic in all her events. She won two golds both
    clocking good times at 31.88 in 50m free and 2:43.88 in 200m butterfly are great times.
    I am happy for her as you see her swimming with a brave heart,” said PSL President
    Susan Papa.
