After months of hard work, our Husky Swimmers qualified and were privileged to take part in the 5th Singapore National Swimming Championships held at the OCBC Aquatics Centre on 18-19 December. This national level swimming competition is one of the key swim meets that lead to international competition selection for the SEA games and Asian games.

More than 15 teams from local swimming clubs and international schools in Singapore participated in the event with hundreds of swimmers vying to make it to the finals. The top 16 swimmers in each event made the finals and swam their hearts out to get new personal best times.
