The ceremony was attended by Elena Frincu, former director of the Constanta County Sports and Youth Department, who suggestet the mayor to declared Razvan Florea an honorary citizen of the city of Constanta.

Constanta sports officials, local government representatives, athletes, coaches, family members and friends have atended the opening of the "Athens Swim Center". The Mayor Radu Mazare couldn’t miss the event and he brought along his two deputy mayors Gabi Stan and Decebal Fagadau. Mazare arrived at the swimming center in his vintage car, a red convertible Morgan. He wore a casual summer outfit, according to the event: red shorts, white shirt and beach slippers.
 
"Razvan is my friend. He is an athlete with valuable results that had the courage to invest in a business. Before the Revolution, in Constanta there were swimming pools, but after 1990 they were converted into bingo halls or wedding ballrooms. But now we have all evolved, the market demanded, so we have private swimming pools too, like Razvan’s, an investment that worth congratulated for. I helped him, sparing him the paperwork as much as I could (paperwork, approvals, urban plan and detailed urban plan), otherwise he would have waited three years after the paperwork, so complicated and intricate is the European Romanian bureaucracy", said Radu Mazare. The mayor declared himself a man of sport and a swimming fan.
 
 "You can not have a healthy, relaxed mind and a healthy body without doing sports. When I don’t use the kite, the jet or the flyboard, when I don’t ski or use other toy, I swim. In windless or waveless days, I swim in the sea every day about 2.5 km. Today, after I leave here, I will go swimming too. Razvan gave me some special paws, some special palm, to swim a little harder. It's a great sport and I recommend you to send your kids to learn it, and then come and learn to swim yourselves too, like me, at least an hour", said Radu Mazare, and went to change for two swimming laps with the Olympic medalist Razvan Florea. The Mayor wore a swimming suit in red and yellow stripes (the same colors he used to promote Mamaia Resort Anthem), put the accessories Razvan gave him and the swimming goggles and he swam 50 meters very relaxed.
