Magazine-Mar to April 2017

48th Singapore National Age Group Swimming Championships January and February saw the start of the prestigious 48th Singapore National Age Group Swimming Championships, with the National Time Trials taking place at the OCBC Aquatic Centre. These trials are good opportunities for our swimmers to strive for their personal best timings and also give them a chance to compete at the Championships in March. Merlion Swim Meet 2017 The first Merlion Swim Meet early this year was off to a good start as our swimmers performed fantastically. We would like to express our thanks to the British Club for being a great host, and as always, we are proud of our swimmers for their months of dedication, hard work and excellent results! MetaSpring Series Duathlon and Triathlon Older swimmers will not be left out in the cold, as the upcoming MetaSprint Series Duathlon in March and Triathlon in April will allow them to push themselves to their limits! The journey continues in May, as the 2017 Bintan Triathlon will take place then. Those interested to take part may contact the Aquatics Department for more information on Masters Training Sessions or team entries. Summer swimming Summer is creeping closer, and it’s the best time of the year to sign up for some swim lessons during the long break along with your little tots. Equip your loved ones with life-saving swim skills while bonding as a family. Private or group lessons are available – try out our new SwimAmerica program!
