Members from our squad participated and we’re really happy for them.

He also won the overall #1 ranking together with 3 other medals for the individual events.
Our lead instructor Jonathan also did really well with a Static Breath hold of 7mins 21 seconds, smashing the previous national record by more than 40 seconds, and placing him #1 for the Static event. With this he still holds the Singapore Static records and now currently ranked #5 in the entire Asia for static!
Yee Hui performed a cruisy Static breath hold of 5mins 01 seconds, placing her in 3rd place for the event.
Another superb performance came from Rolly who swam his first ever 150m with bifins, coming in 2nd place for the discipline.
