Aaron Sollestre and Abdulrahim Nooh 'Langoy' Dokyu ni Sandra Aguinaldo

'Langoy' Dokyu ni Sandra Aguinaldo

Most say competitive swimming is not poor man’s sport. Like most other sports, it is still the survival of the fittest, the fastest and sometimes the most equipped. But when you have nothing more but innate skill and determination, a young athlete takes a different plunge. Abdul and Aaron, young competitive swimmers, both dream to be Olympians. At 13, they swim faster than most kids their age, training everyday after school at a local public pool. Clocking faster each time, they are quickly rising among the ranks of young swimmers from public schools. Aaron Sollestre has been swimming since he was 9 years old. His father, Roland, is a volunteer traffic enforcer in Manila City Hall and his mother, a housewife. They knew Aaron’s potential right from the start. Aaron’s friend, Abdulrahim Nooh, has been training since he was in grade 5. His father drives a van to earn a living, constantly motivating Abdul to join competitions along with the support of his coaches. Their parents don’t earn enough to pay for swimming coaches, or buy them expensive gear. Going to competitions sometimes entails borrowing money for the jeepney fare. But with sheer determination, they find means to get Aaron and Abdul into the water to compete. They know that through swimming they can rise from the depths, and maybe earn them a college scholarship. As Aaron and Abdul go head to head with other young swimmers from private schools... how far can their determination take them? Is it enough to win them the gold?
