Swimironkids, do you know the rationale behind the decision to stop selecting the top 10 & 11 yr olds for training under Ian Turner? Seems rather awkward to

shift the cut off age to 12 yr old, the PSLE year when a typical Singaporean kid's focus is most likely to be v split...

Hi wats the kid age? U can pm me the detail name..dob...stroke...etc I shld be able to explain
Maybe you wish to stay anonymous just his or her dob , did he she came in first two in final for the fly?
Cheers

You've got a pm. Thanks.

Hello! I’m foreign student currently studying in Singapore Poly. May I know if there is any swimming club for/accepting/suitable for young adults in Singapore ? I’m now 20 yrs and I’ve been training in this sport for several years when I was back in my country. How is Speediswim vs Swimfast ?

I have heard very good things about Swimfast. You might want to ask for a trial class before deciding which to train with. Good luck & enjoy swimming!

Hi, My 7yo son has started competitive training at Swimfast for half an year. He’s been able to progress quite a bit after joining the training there and he does enjoys the training. My concern is the schedule of the training time for the junior kids is kind of awkward. They train from 5:30 to 8:00 on weekdays and my son goes to school for morning sessions. He will have a light breakfast at home on 7am, then a light lunch on 10am during recess, then another lunch on 2pm after arriving home, a snack on 4:30pm before his training and dinner urually ends up on 8:45pm. Ever since he started this schedule, I noticed he seemed losing his appetite a lot and eating really really slow. It often takes more than 1 hour for him to finish his lunch or dinner. He only gained 1kg for this half year and 2cm higher. I’m a bit concerned. Can anyone tell me whether this is normal or I should change his schedule? Feedback on how to feed him better is also very appreciated.

For long sleeve swimsuit -
I bought one for my dd, at Kiddy Palace (Toa Payoh)

Bought long sleeve, so that her arms don't get dark under the hot sun, during swimming from 4 pm to 5 pm, one hour training.
4 pm : the Sun is still very hot

OG also sell.

kids grow in spurts so i wouldn't be overly worried as long as he is healthy, gets plenty of sleep (mine naps before training) and a balanced diet. Sometimes, when training is very exhausting, kid loses their appetite and cannot eat immediately. When that happens, i dont force them. It usually comes back after a rest. Most impt is for the kid to enjoy swimming and not get overly stressed.
