儘管颱風外圍的環流使得一早的天候相當不穩定，GMBA游泳隊仍無懼風雨地參加今年的全校運動會游泳賽。戶外游泳池畔的參與者與觀眾，有人做著暖身操，有人為隊友加油打氣，比賽的熱情絲毫不受天氣的影響。

今年的游泳比賽是由台大體育室籌畫，賽程自下午一點到五點。由於疫情後的生活逐漸回復正常，所以這次的比賽開放給所有台大學生、教職員工參加，因此現場大約有100名的參與者，以及許多來加油的啦啦隊。GMBA派出的游泳隊是由R10和R11兩屆學生組成的五人團隊。其中4名選手報名50公尺混合接力賽， 3名選手參加男子50公尺蝶式與女子50公尺蛙式的個人賽。

GMBA游泳選手個個表現亮眼，首先接力賽獲得全校第 13 名，接著Angela在女子 50公尺蛙式奪得第14 名、 Robert 和 Ansem 在男子 50公尺蝶式獲得第 16 和第 20 名。GMBA的啦啦隊也相當盡力，比賽與頒獎的時候他們不停地高聲呼喊“GMBA”來鼓舞隊員。賽後，選手與啦啦隊一同慶功，結束前，隊員們承諾明年會提前開始訓練，不僅要取得更好的成績，還要招募新的泳隊成員一起參與其中。

這次的比賽再次說明了，GMBA的學生不只在學術和工作方面有卓越表現，同時他們也在體育運動上展現才華。透過參加比賽，能讓一群人為相同目標奮鬥，使他們建立緊密的連結，這個過程與結果都非常具有意義與價值。期待GMBA的學生明年再來挑戰游泳比賽。

A Rainy and windy day welcomed the NTU swimming competition.

All participants were warming up and ready for the competition in the cold and wet weather. But their determination to compete did not seem to be affected by the weather.

The competition started at 13:00 and ended at 17:00 on 15 Oct 2022, organized by the Athletic Department. Not only the students, anyone from NTU was welcomed including the teaching staff so around 100 participants were at the scene. A team of five members from R10 and R11, from GMBA also actively participated in various competitions. Four athletes joined the 50 meters mixed relays, and three also participated in individual competitions of men’s 50m butterfly and women’s 50m breaststroke.

GMBA group members performed well during the competition. For the Relay contest, the team got 13th place and for the individual, Angela got 14th in the female 50m breaststroke. Robert and Ansem got 16th and 20th place in the male 50m butterfly. We could hear the cheerleading group cheering and chanting “GMBA” from the audience stage. Each of them received a certificate and T-shirt for outstanding performance. After the competition, the participants and cheerleaders together had a celebration hot pot near the campus. The dinner ended with the appreciation speech and members promised to train harder to perform better next year and to spread the word to welcome new participants.

This event again shows that our GMBA members are not only professional and remarkable in academics and working but also talented in sports. Having a common goal of achievement as a team, this competition is one of the best ways to bond with friends and seniors. The process of training and goal-setting together makes both the process and the result more valuable.

Looking forward to the GMBA participation in the coming year’s NTU Swimming competition.
