  Program for developing of the Bulgarian swimming sport till 2008
By Ivan Tsanov (October 2002)
According to the Bulgarian Swimming Federation, the Program for developing of the Bulgarian swimming sport is created  till 2008. The Program must be approved by the Managing Committee of the Federation (12 people). The most important topics are as follows:
During the season 2002 - 2003 Bulgarian swimming cup with 6 tournaments will start. Each tournament will provide prize money and finally overall prize money.
In Bulgaria will be built up 4 - 5 national swimming centers - bases for the National team. Probably two of them will be located in Plovdiv and Sandansky.
Mr. Emil Kyulev, President of the Bulgarian Swimming Federation  (former swimmer and now top banker) will provide 20 talented young swimmers with grants.
For the Olympic Games in Athens 2004, Bulgaria will count on Gueorgui Palazov (Fly and I.M.), Atanas Datchanski (Free and Fly), Ivajlo Ivanov (Free) and the great hope - Mikhail Alexandrov (Breast and I.M.) now living in U.S.A. and others perspective swimmers. 
Bulgaria will exchange swimmers and coaches for first time  with Ukraine and Romania.
The main strategic goal is however the Olympic Games 2008 in China.
All Bulgarian swimmers, coaches, administrators, fans and just friends can hope that all this intentions are only the first steps and they will give the considerable changes for the better future. The results of the Bulgarian swimmers are now mediocre even poor. This situation is for all of us unacceptable - for example this year in Volos (GRE) the Bulgarian men swimmers remain without gold medal during the Balkan Games. But in the country of Mr. Petar Stoytchev (FINA World Open Water Champion 2001), Mr. Anton Mikhaylov (FINA World Masters Champion 2002) and Mrs. Tanya Bogomilova (Olympic Champion 1988) things are getting on well.
