LISCA, First Aquatic League Student Endorsed Healthy Lifestyle Promotion

Posted on May 27, 2013

JAQ Swimming is organizing and launching the first League of Inter School and Collegiate Aquatic (LISCA) in Indonesia on April 7, 2013 at Universitas Pelita Harapan Olympic Pool. It is the first aquatic league for student athlete in Indonesia. JAQ Swimming itself was established by former athletes and professionals in 2004.

JAQ Swimming has initiated an aquatic league for student athlete that encourages students and swimmers to stay in school to pursue academic and sport excellence to reach their professional goals. JAQ Swimming founders believe that solid education is an essential foundation for the swimmers’ future. Physical performance has limitation but intellectual skills are sustainable for lifetime.  Prior to LISCA, JAQ Swimming also has regular JAQ School League Invitational among primary schools to grow the spirit of student athlete. The invitation is conducted every quarter throughout the year.
The press conference held during LISCA series 1, 2013 season, was attended by Director of Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) Sport Department Stephen Metcalfe, ME (left), Executive Head Coach & Chairman of JAQ Swimming Wisnu Wardhana, Bsc. (middle), and Club Management Manager HeLP Division Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa (YCAB) Olave Piere Davy (right).

Later on, Wisnu wished LISCA to be able to be a sport and educational institution that the alumni can directly contribute to support their juniors. “Our plan for the future is to make LISCA athlete alumni, so when they have reached professional goal and are successful in their career, they will help us to promote the importance of staying in school and developing talents for student athlete’s future,” added Wisnu.

As the closing, Davy said that YCAB Foundation wants to endorse this event because it is the same with one of the pillars of YCAB Foundation, Healthy Lifestyle Promotion (HeLP). In the future, Davy wants all young Indonesia generation will have a balancing life between education and healthy lifestyle. It’s better do sport than do drugs.
