Hi guys,

Once again, Allister Ngai has brought SIM honour in winning a silver medal for 100m Freestyle. Although the rest of the team did not win any medals, they've actually attained outstanding results by breaking most of their individual best timings.

I hope this will be able to bring inspirations and motivations to the rest of people in the club to train hard for our next year's competition in all aspects including aquathlon, biathlon, lifesaving and swimming comp.

Another good news which I would like to bring to everyone. That is from next week onwards, there'll be weekly swim trainings conducted for the club. These trainings include endurance, speed training and strokes correction. Our winner of IVP, Allister, will be our leading swimmer for the training. I hope to see everyone back training together because I feel that nothing beats the great satisfaction of training together in the pool.

For those having exams at the current moment, I'll like to wish everyone on the behalf of the club, all the best and see you after your battle. Cheers!

True meaning of Lifesaving

2009-08-17T23:12:00.005+08:00

Hi Guys and Girls,

Just want to post a question to everyone.

Having cleared our BM and entered the competition for Lifesaving Nationals.

Have we undermine the true meaning of lifesaving?

Specifically,

1) Did we pass BM just to get into competition?

2) Are we really able to save lives after we pass BM?

Please post replies ok? I want to know whether the direction of the club is not right.
But definitely, not wrong in any way.

32nd Nationals Lifesaving Competition

2009-08-05T00:30:00.002+08:00

All thanks to Fabian, we've a few exciting videos for everyone to enjoy. Enjoy! Haha!

Good job everyone for the performance in Nationals. Although we only had less than 2 months to train, but I feel that we've certainly done a wonderful job and achieved great results. Despite not having a pool of our own, we've actually won other teams who had much more facilities and equipments than us for trainings.

Have a good break lifesavers! Rest well and we shall all proceed on with Award of Merit!

Training for this coming Friday, 31st July

2009-07-28T23:24:00.000+08:00

Attention Competition Team.

This Friday we'll be having training as usual. But we will be discussing on relay transition preagreements and maybe doing a bit of strokes corrections.

This training is compulsory for all competition team members. For the rest, do feel free to join us if you have the time.

Updates on 27th July

2009-07-27T23:07:00.003+08:00

Hi Club,

These are the upcoming plans for August Month.

1) 2nd Aug is Nationals. We are officially left with 2 more trainings (wed and friday) before Nationals arrive. However, I'm thinking whether to abandon the last training for recuperation and carbo-loading for Nationals. Exco, please advise me on this issue.

*Whether Friday's training is a need.

On top of that, all participants have to be there. The club has made it compulsory for members to spare just one Sunday to be there at Kallang Basin Swimming Complex to view and support the competition. This is to allow existing and new members to have an experience of a Lifesaving Competition in National Standard.

As Batch 5 will have a second chance in participating the competition next year. Please consolidate your experience and improve on existing standard to be able to compete better next year.

2) Right after Nationals, anyone have any plans to go anywhere to celebrate? Please propose something alright?

3) Trainings on 3rd Aug and 10th Aug are cancelled. The club will go on a short break after the long long training that we had. Club activities will resume on 17th Aug.

4) On 17th Aug, these will be the deal for the members:

5th Batch:

To attend training on every Monday without fail, to complete your AM on your own. I will propose to school to submit 5 names for fully-subsidised INSTRUCTOR COURSE on the following year.

So you can have from August month all the way to 2010 March to complete your AM.
I will only consider AM candidates for INSTRUCTOR COURSE. So go and work for it.

6th Batch:
Sama sama. To attend training on every Monday without fail, to complete your BM course under the supervision of Seniors who will be coming back to help out once they are done with their personal issues.

You are supposed to clear your BM by End of the Year. So work hard for the timing.
2.45 is the standard of SIM lifesavers.

7th Batch:
You are to undergo a rigorous L123 trainings all the way to October. And clear your L123 by then. It will be tough and intensive. Be prepared. As this will only aid in your transition to the Bronze Medallion course. It's all worth it.

Eric and I will be your instructors. We welcome you to the SIM Lifesaving family.

Other issues:
Orientation camp will be reviewed by sub-comm. They will announce to us about their revised plan. Sub-comm please report to exco about your plans first. Thanks!

That's all folks.
Secure.

My two cents worth

2009-06-28T19:54:00.003+08:00

To all my fellow lifesavers who took part in the NUS Invitationals yesterday :),

Please don't be demoralized or anywhere near disappointed about the final scores. No matter how many disqualifications our team has, or got last in how many events, it doesn't really matter. You have made me proud enough :)

As the emcee announced "Singapore Institute of Management, SIM" during the march past yesterday, it may not have meant anything to you, but it did really mean a whole lot to me. I was brimming with happiness, and extremely proud of each and everyone of you. One year ago, we only had 3 people trying to let this club survive and one year later, here we are, a club of 30 odd, on the road to success.

Call me emotional, but when I first looked at this picture, I almost teared. It makes me feel so, so proud of this club that was once nothing in SIM. Seriously, no words can explain that precise moment I saw Zhi Yu hold the ~~orh-biang~~ flag at the march past with the whole group of you donned in the SIM Lifesaving shirt and walking past me. That was an undescribable feeling. Something like a mother being very proud of her son for achieving his first medal in a story-telling competition.

Who cares about not winning any medal at the end of the day when in my heart, you're already winners!

Jia you for the next competition! I may not be in the pool competing with you, but I'll always be there training with you guys ( even though yes, I do complain a lot! ) and giving you lots of encouraging words and hugs.

I love you guys loads loads! Muacks muacks!!! SUPER PROUD OF YOU GUYS ok! :):):)

Love,
Julia!

Club Re-open

2009-06-25T10:28:00.007+08:00

Hi everyone,

Firstly, on behalf of the club, I'll like to thank everyone who turned up for the chalet. It was totally a bomb and it wouldn't have turned out this way without you people. For those who missed out the fun, don't worry as there'll definitely be more of such gatherings in coming future.

Anyway, it's being a while since I've seen a training of more than 30 people. Honestly, I miss all of you guys and ladies. Haha! SOOooo.... I'll like to announce that we're going to re-open and we're going to start our first swim class! Yes! And our dear young handsome instructor is non other than........... VINCENT!!! WOOOOOO!!!!

Ok, craziness aside. Basically, I'll like to call everyone back to our club's activity because our club is officially re-opening after the long break. All those who've finished their L123 will be moving on with BM and BM moving on to AM. For those who're still considering of whether to continue your progress in lifesaving, please just come down and have a tryout. I believe that there's not such thing as lousy swimmer or good swimmers. Only swimmers with good attitude. Taking our very own example, Lim Huan Geng! I'm very proud to say that Huan Geng always take the extra effort to come down to train with us despite not required to. Although he stays at Tampines, he'll always find the extra time and travel all the way to Clementi for training, 3 TIMES A WEEK.

Well, I genuinely hope that everyone will have such passion like Huan Geng. Haha!

Anyway, I'll like to inform everyone what's happening when our club re-open. Basically there'll be various groups of swimmers/lifesavers/lifeguards doing different trainings.

1st: Swim Class conducted by Vincent
2nd: Competition team training for Nationals
3rd: BM people who're interested in AM to self-train.
4th: Desmond's batch of BM swimmers to continue training for BM

So as you can see,6th of July's training is going be a very fun-filled training for SIM Lifesaving Club. Therefore I hope to see everyone back on 6th July! Cheers!

Certificate Presentation On BBQ Night

2009-06-13T15:43:00.002+08:00

Hi everyone,

Just to inform everyone, there'll be a certificate presentation on the night of bbq for our chalet. Presentation includes all those who just completed their BM and L123 as well as some of the others who've not collected your L123 certs from the BM batch of lifesavers.

Trainings on 15th and 17th cancelled

2009-06-09T02:17:00.003+08:00

Hi everyone,

There'll be no trainings on both 15th and 17th due to our club event "Bonding the Lifesavers 2009". Trainings will resume on Friday, 19th for competition people and the following Monday for the rest of club.

Do remember to check your mailbox for the next 4 days as I'll be sending everyone the details regarding the event. Arigato!

Bonding the Lifesavers Resume

2009-06-01T23:05:00.002+08:00

Hi fellow lifesavers!

Good news! The cohesion will resume as normal! Yes! That means we'll be having a chalet as what we planned!

Therefore I will need all those attending this event to promptly pay $15 to Jaclyn because we need to pay these money to Grace (who kindly helped us to book the chalet). So all those who've not paid up, please do so otherwise I'll be hanging a pig head at your doorstep. Haha!

On top of that, I'll like to announce that the club has officially open so I hope that everyone will turn up for training. Tentatively the club is preparing the competition team for the upcoming NUS Invitational so do feel free to join in the fun!

We'll be opening a new class of L123 this coming Wednesday. All those who're super free, do feel free to join in as well!

That's all folks!

Training Resume

2009-05-20T17:15:00.003+08:00

Hi,

The club will be commencing swim training for everyone from the start of next Monday 25th May.

Training is only compulsory for all taking part in NUS invitational and all those taking BM crash course. For the rest, you are free to join in the swim training.

See you guys at Clementi Pool. Cheers!

DIVING IS LOVED!

2009-05-19T06:55:00.001+08:00

On behalf of grace...

Who's interested to go diving in end June/July? Weekends only. Open water and advance courses available. You'll be going there to learn, so it's ok if you don't know how to dive. We should be going to Tioman or Pulau something in Malaysia. Tentatively it should cost about $550 per person but it can go cheaper if more people are going. Gary and his friends are going to be teaching us.

Please email me at thestrange_@hotmail.com if you have any questions. Those interested, let me know when you're not free during the June/July period so I can arrange.

Those interested and confirmed can go, send me an email with your name, ic no, passport no (if it's different from your ic no), email add, handphone no.

Cheers! :)

BM Test

2009-04-27T23:57:00.002+08:00

Hi!

This is an announcement to all those taking BM.

For all those who took BM on 27th April, I'll first like to congrats everyone on passing the CPR theory section. Please be reminded that you will be having your swim test on 18th May. As it is still a long way from now and there will be no more trainings, please try your best to maintain your stamina and standard. Otherwise, your hard work will go down to drain and just to pre-warn everybody, arranging for re-test is going to be quite difficult as 18th May will be the last slot for test.

For 11th May's batch, your exam will resume as usual. No change for you people. Some little tips for you guys. Be confident in everything you do. Even if you make mistake, don't panic. Let the examiner correct you. Don't argue. Just accept the things he say. All the best.

Bonding The Lifesavers 2009

2009-04-22T23:43:00.002+08:00

Hello fellow club people!

I've got a wonderful announcement to make regarding our event of the year!

Ok, here goes. We've booked the chalet for our cohesion event and it'll be at Changi Fairy Point Bungalows. The dates are as mentioned before, 15th to 17th June. So PLEASE take note of it.

As for the activities happening, we welcome everyone to chip in ideas for what we can do. You may even volunteer yourself to bring entertainments such as WII, PS2, etc. Just drop me a mail and I'll do the planning accordingly. News for what's going to happen during the event will be released at later dates. So stay tune!

For those who're unable to make it, please check your schedules again to see if you can make it. Haha! This is because we're trying to spread the cost as much as possible to reduce everybody's payment.

Once again, I'll like to take this opportunity as well to congratulate all the elites who've passed the L123 on first attempt (especially Jolene and Retarded Toe because they went through crash course). Keep up the spirit and hopefully we'll get to see everyone for BM when club reopens.

To everybody: On behalf of SIM Lifesaving Club; Good luck in your exams!

Training on 27th April 2009

2009-04-22T23:15:00.002+08:00

Hello to all those taking BM,

As we all know, this coming Monday 27th April, there'll be a exam for the first batch of BM people. I understand that there a handful of people that are taking their exams on 11th May. Thus, for this Monday's training, it'll not be compulsory.

However, I strongly urge all those who thinks that their standard is still lacking and might have difficulty meeting the timing, please come down on Monday to do some self training. For all those who're interested to see how a BM test is conducted, you're also welcomed to come down to the pool (ie all those from L123 can also come down).

On top of this, I'll also like to remind everyone to study hard for this exam. This is because if anyone would to fail the exam, extra costs will be incurred for re-booking of exam and you will have to bear this cost. However, we do not wish to demoralise anyone as there's a chance for re-test AS LONG AS THE EXAMINER IS WILLING TO DO SO. In short, just try your best and study well for this exam. Good luck.

Pass the Luck Around

2009-04-18T20:53:00.003+08:00

First and foremost,
congrats to the L123 hunks and babes who managed to pass the exam!
welcome aboard to the toturous BM training.

Meanwhile, 3 groups will be taking their BM soon.
BEST OF LUCK to those peeps, do your best, and you're a CERTIFIED LIFEGUARD XD

JIAYOUS!

PS: happy mugging hard for your exams!
look forward to lifesaving club's chalet where all the fun and laughter awaits.

love,
JAC

Wishes for Lifesaving 1,2,3 people.

2009-04-12T19:50:00.002+08:00

On behalf of the club, I'll like to wish all those taking this coming Monday's Lifesaving 1,2,3 exams the best of luck and hope that all will pass with flying colours! Jia you!

My two cents worth

2009-04-03T23:46:00.003+08:00

Hi club,

It's been a long time since i last spoke to all of you. Just let me emo and read finish this entry for this once ok?

After all the trouble that zhiwei and i and many other ppl like eric, vincent who stayed behind to continue to help out with the emergency bm training class. The results begin to appear right? I guess most of you are more certain about your item 1 timing already. So happy for all of you.

However, it is the passing of the BM course of your batch (the largest intake ever) that is bothering me. I just want to take the chance to urge the current BM batch to continue to stay active within the club and continue for training when the club reopens during June.

A club that is so big with nearing 40 members, if the active members is only limited to kunda, zhiwei, and me and those exco members and some loyal members... then the club is only worthy to be called a 10 people club. What i want to see is really a fully commitment club that is so enthu about their activities.
The LS123 people attending their LS123 without fail.
The BM people challenging their previous own timing every week they come for training.
The graduated BM people aiming for higher achievements.

I was once a noob dog member wwho came with the idea of taking advantage of the cheap course fee. Get the Bm and escape as far as possible. But as i tow and tow and tow and tow.. Until i begin to fall in love by towing zhiwei. Now i love towing zhiwei, that's why i begin to like lifesaving. I guess all of you will have your own love story in lifesaving.
I just hope that you realised how fun lifesaving can be.
What can matter more than:
1) Beating your own timing every week, may it be towing or swimming
2) Competing with Rongtai (fastest swimmer of lifesaving)
3) Joking with son of HO CHI MINH, DUC
4) talking about cycling underwater and start to auto reformat
5) the "sumptuous dinner" at BOTAK JONES occasionally!
6) so many other things!

There are many other paths of advancement after BM.

Option 1: You can train harder and get AM! (Swim 1.5laps, Tow 1.5laps)
Option 2: You can join the instructor rank and be an instructor yourself
Option 3: You can join the lifesaving team for competition.
We need two main guy team consisting of 6 man for each team, and two main girl team consisting of 6 females for each team.
Option 4: You can do Opt 1,2 and 3 together! or you can do Opt 1 and 2, or 1 and 3.
Option 5: You can continue to take Bronze cross which is an open water module in lifesaving
Option 6: You can do Opt4 and 5?

See! There is so much more to do within the club. And what else can beat the weekly dinner right after a shagging session of swimming! And also the upcoming cohesions that the exco is planning for all of you.

Please prove your loyalty by your actions. I hope to continue see you guys coming for the weekly trainings! Anyway, the club is going to holiday soon.. So let's see it when June comes!
And all the best for LS123 who are taking their slss exams soon. ANd also BM people who are taking their BM before club holiday.

Your emo pres.

Bonding the Lifesavers 2009

2009-03-31T18:39:00.000+08:00

Hello fellow Lifesavers!

In the midst of preparing, mugging and living a very lifeless life now due to all the exams coming, I would like to make an important announcement which I hope will BOOST up your moral!

In June this year, the Exco team has decided to organize our very own Club Cohesion event titled "Bonding the Lifesavers 2009" !!!

Basically, it'll be a few days cohesion time spent together at a chalet in Singapore with everyone from SIM Lifesaving. We will be having fun filled activities like night cycling, soccer, beach chilling session, etc.

Therefore, I hope that everyone will take note of this cohesion while planning for your holidays this coming June. Tentatively, the dates will most probably somewhere during the first and second week of June. We're currently still planning the details for this cohesion. As soon as the plan is out, we will announce it to everyone! Stay tune!

Regards,
Zhiyu

CPR and BM theory programme

2009-03-28T01:08:00.002+08:00

Hello friends

We are currently halfway through our BM accelerated package and I am delighted with everyone's progress

In fact most people have been able to improve on their item 1 timing as well as brush up on their techniques.

3 groups have been registered for the test, and i'm sure there will be more to come in the next few sessions.

I understand that u guys haven't had enough quality CPR practise maybe because of the class group size as well as the limitation on the number of manikins that we have.

I'm proud to annouce of our CPR & BM theory Programme.

It will be held on wednesday 8th of April, in School (lecture room to be confirmed) from 5pm to 8pm

We will be going through the theory portion in BM, and all u need to know for the CPR exam, including CPR on adult,child and infant, choking (conscious and unconscious) on Adult and infant.

Do not worry about the lack of attention given to u, or the lack of manikins.

Important Announcement

2009-03-18T00:40:00.004+08:00

Club Official Break for ACADEMIC EXAMS Announcement

From the week of April 27th (Monday) to the week of June 1st (Monday), the club will halt all activities.
This is to allow members to concentrate on their academic exams and at the same time take a good break after a long period of MONDAY nights being taken off your schedule.
For RMIT members who will most likely complete their exams by Mid May. You may wish to call up fellow members to go for swim training together.
As for UOL, all the best for the once a year EXAM! Do your best. Forget about your BM timings and LS123 lame techniques. We will conquer those when we come back.
The club officially resumes its operation on June 8th. This whole month is cordoned off for your SLSS examinations.
This also means that we may need to ask you come for trainings on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In order to pass your Lifesaving Examination. It is also a good time for you to accumulate your attendance which you lack from the trainings. However, we will require commitment with you if you wish to take this lifesaving training seriously.
8th June also spells the start of the training for ANNUAL LIFESAVING COMPETITION. The club wishes to call out to all BM-certified members to concentrate on Lifesaving Competition Events
It is in the best interest of you to know that it is better for you to clear your BM before the club goes into break on last week of April. IF not, it will seemed like you took years to complete BM which is very demoralising. I seriously hope you all and put in this extra effort to pass you BM asap. Thus, this is what Zhiwei and I can do for you.
LOOK HERE...
There will be trainings on 25/3, 27/3, 1/4, 3/4. Two weeks of extra Wednesday and Friday Trainings, ON top of the usual MONDAY TRAININGS.
All trainings starts at 5.30pm. (as revision class ends at 5pm)
Those who wish to take BM exams before club break, please contact DJ MAX (Zhiyu). He will collate the names and let me know. And i will make sure all of you pass before club break.

Hang in there! Let's all do well for our exams!

Yours Sincerely,
Silvester

meanwhile suggestions are greatly welcomed!
stay tuned!

Hot hot!

2009-02-24T22:45:00.007+08:00

Please take a look at our hot hot limited edition pink lifesaving t-shirt!

:)

If you haven't checked your email, orders are currently being taken! The shirt costs $17 ( no subsidy by the club at all ) and if you want it, please sms me ( JULIA ) the quantity and your size ASAP. Closing date and time for the order will be on THURSDAY 26 SEP at 9pm. Any orders after that will not be entertained!

These are the orders so far :

1. Agnes - XS ( would check and if there's no XS, we will order S )
2. De Kun - M
3. Jaclyn - XL
4. Julia - M
5. Nicholas - L
6. Wei Meng - M
7. Xiang Li - S

For those who have ordered, please pass the $17 to Jaclyn whenever you see her. She may not be around the next 2 weeks because of the prelims, so if you have passed the money to any other committee member, please SMS her to let her know as well. ( Contact list has been sent to your emails! Please check! )

I know some of you have not gotten the black lifesaving shirt. We will place orders for the black shirt together with the pink shirt so if everything gets processed fast, we should be getting our shirts in about 2-3 weeks time. Please also note that there is no charge for the black shirt.

Also, for those who did not attend training on Monday, we have announced that UOL students have a discretionary 2 weeks break due to the upcoming prelims. We expect to see full attendance at the pool on 16 march ( except the very few people who have their last paper on 17 march ) But if any of you guys are able to sacrifice 3 hours of your Monday for some exercise, please feel free to join us at the pool! As for non-UOL students, I do believe it is your responsibility to make it a point to come down for training even though your friends may not be around :)

If there are any queries, please feel free to approach any of the committee members for help!

XOXO,
Julia

Once upon a time, in a land not far far away, there lived Silvester...

Silvester trying to act like Tinky Winky
... and Wei Meng!

Wei Meng trying to ACT CAMERA SHY
It was a blistering hot Sunday afternoon and both of them decided to come to Sentosa to sun tan. At the very beginning this was how it looked like...

Somewhere, not long later, they somehow fell in love!

HURHURHUR. And both of them got girlfriends too! HOW CAN!!! APA INI?!~

SO ROMANTIC~ Got name on top of their heads somemore!
What's going to happen to Silvester, Wei Meng and their girlfriends? For more information, please call 1900-ASK-VICTOR ( he wants to be the third party leh! ) GOSSIP GOSSIP GOSSIP! :) I LOVE GOSSIPS!

Happy Chinese New Year!

2009-01-26T00:00:00.000+08:00

On behalf of SIM Lifesaving Club and SLSS, I wish everyone a prosperous Chinese New Year!

Extra Swimming Training.

2009-01-25T12:12:00.003+08:00

Hi!

Firstly, I'll like to wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year!

Ok, in lieu to the pathetic timing recorded by all those taking BM, the exco have come up with a plan to organise extra training for everyone. Currently, as we all know, only a minority of people are able to meet Gary's standard of 2.45 in item 1. On top of that, we hope to clear all BM peopl by end of March. Taking away Chinese New Year and Potluck Dinner, we're pratically left with less than 10 sessions before the end of March.

Anyway, the current plan that I've managed to come up with will be gathering all of you guy's availability for this extra training. It can be none, once, twice or even thrice a week. It all depends on how you rate for your own standard. Basically, this training is catered for those who really wants to improve on their timing and yet don't know how to. If you feel that your standard good enough for Gary's timing, then good for you. For those who really can't make it like me, please... come for this training.

I understand that everybody's schedule will be definitely different. Thus I've volunteered myself to be the HQ for everyone to contact. Instead of you guys trying to find training buddies, just drop me your availabilty and I'll do the necessary arrangements for you guys. Tentatively, I hope that I will be able to plan out a schedule for everyone by 9th Feb. Just FYI, what I'm intending to do is to coordinate all those who have the same availability and group them into teams of 4-6. I feel that the work rate and training will be very efficient. I'll try my best to mix up all the standards so that you guys can be competing with each other during training. If anyone of you have a better plan, please let me know by either dropping me an email or sms-ing me.

For all those who are currently taking their L123, please feel free to drop me a mail or SMS if you're interested in this training as well. It'll definitely help you in future when you're taking BM.

I'll be making another announcement on Potluck itself so that everyone can be notified of this plan. But please submit your availability as early as possible so that I can plan faster and get the trainings started.

Once again, wish everyone a very happy chinese new year! Xin Nian Kuai Le!

Extra BM Training

2009-01-21T23:52:00.005+08:00

Hello all!

Zhi Yu and I have decided to set another day aside for extra BM trainings, taking into consideration that we could not reach Gary's expectation.

We will start off with interval training; where we can train our speed and stamina, and then we'll see if we should all progress to practicing on our item #1 and #2.

We have yet to settle on an exact date, but all BM members are encouraged to come so that we can all clear our BM and proceed to the next level, be it IVP or any other lifesaving courses.

Do drop me an email at jaclynization@gmail.com or sms me at 81338206 to confirm attendance. Alternatively, you may tag at the tagboard. Zhi Yu and I will get back to you =)

PS: L123 members are all welcome =) let's train together; one for all, all for one.

P.S : I just bought a super LIME GREEN Arena costume la! $33 bucks only! Minimum price for a girl's swimming costume would cost at least $58 or so. Arena ( at centrepoint ) is having a 40% sale! The guys swimming trunks would cost only around $17 after the discount! :) I don't know when the sale ends, but do go grab it asap if you need it!

P.P.S : The lifesaving noticeboard is up! It's located on Level 3, before walking through the glass doors to popular. It's not bad looking, although I must say there is room for improvement! Will be changing the photos after I take more of them - out of the pool!

is deepavali monday or tuesday?

2008-10-25T01:30:00.001+08:00

In a press statement on public holidays for 2008 released on 29 March 2007, the Ministry of Manpower announced that Deepavali would fall on 28 October 2008 (Tuesday). However, the date needed to be checked against the Indian Almanacs when they became available.

2. The actual Deepavali date for 2008 is now known. It will fall on 27 October 2008 (Monday) instead of 28 October 2008 (Tuesday).

Hi!

For administrative purposes, the people taking lessons on Monday will be known as Team 1.

In Team 1, there are two sub-groups, known as 1A and 1B.

1A = Instructor Gary
Kenneth & Kum Cheong
Weimeng & Jason
Jeffrey & RongTai
XiangLi & Grace
Agnes & Shannen

1B = Instructor Jason
Treddy & Zhiyu

And i'm sad to announce that Sophie will not be continuing with us due to her personal reasons. But we still have LYNNE with us! Haha!...

For Team 1's information, we are starting a Tuesday class on 23rd September. It will known as Team 2. You will get to see Team 2 people when we have open water activities together, if not, the only way to meet up with them, is to join us on Tuesday too. Haha! Don't be crazy... But crazy is good.

Let's try not to be too segregated ok? Be nice to the new people in Team 2. The club will be thinking of ways for the two Teams to meet up often.

That's all for now!

We had a sumptuous dinner after the lifesaving lesson.

Team 1's monday training.

2008-09-11T19:56:00.002+08:00

Due to the overwhelming response in our recruitment drive, We will not be focusing our efforts in the booth during student week.
So we've decided to cancel the chartered bus services from school to the pool. so, see you guys directly at the pool. Of course if u happen to be in school, do drop by to say hi!.

That aside, this coming monday u guys will have to finalise your partner that will follow thru till the end of the course.
We will be doing pole reaching, rope throws, and board throws. Not forgetting we will be practising what we've did last week like straddle jumps!

It will be from 6-8.30pm
see you at clementi pool!
