"We want these children to be our hope in the next few years and we have emphasized to them to always think of achieving higher in looking at the Olympics expected by the country," said Reswanda.
"We want to create a national sports grand design that is always based on the Olympics," Reswanda added.
Furthermore, Reswanda explained that the Indonesian swimming team's target is to aim for the best position in the 44th SEA Age Group Swimming Championship tournament which will take place in Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
