      Not sure if any heard of Modern Pentathlon? It's a relatively new sport in Singapore (even though it has about 100 years of history~) It's a 5-in-1 sport consists of Swimming, Fencing, Running and Shooting, and horse-riding. Suppose to develop an \"all-rounded\" individual. Horse-riding is currently still unavailable in Singapore though.


      Participants from this sport usually comes from a swimming and running background, and subsequently fencing and shooting. Currently, PA is offering fencing and shooting+running courses at some of their CCs at quite affordable rates. Any who has a copy of PA's Modern Living July-Sept issue pamphlet can refer to it.

      And those who does not want to do the full 4-5 sports, there are actually competitions year round for Biathlon (Swim/Run), Triathlon (Swim/Run/Shoot) in the modern pentathlon format (points system).

      There are a few 11-12 year old kids who are currently doing some serious training for the sport at a modern pentathlon sports club. Who knows they'll be the next upcoming Youth Olympians :rahrah:

          [quote=\"junrahmat\"]DD doing ice speed skating. Very interesting, though dangerous sport.


          That's unusual. Where does she train?


          She trains at Kallaing ice rink, but only after 10pm, on Mondays. She's a SISA member, so they managed to book private ice time for the speed skaters to train. Timing's not great, but that's the only choice they have :([/quote]Hi! May I ask at what age did your daughter start learning ice skating? We lived through one winter in Canada and attempted skating, but because my husband and I aren't the best skaters, we were not able to teach our son the basics. However, we've brought back his pair of skates to Singapore. He's 4 years old now, and I'm wondering if there are any coaches here who are quipped to teach kids as young as he is. Thanks!

                      Does being a Youth Flying Club member means that the enlistment for NS will most likely be RSAF?
