All About Recreational Swimming

Hi Damnsel,
On behalf of Happy Fish Swim School, I would like to apologise for the postponement of your baby aquatic lessons.
It was definitely not our intention to delay the class and we are very sorry to have caused inconvenience to both you and your child.
In order to provide an immediate update with regards to any changes to the lesson schedule, such as bad weather and postponement, we put our instructor in charge of it. Our admin team is responsible for assisting them to make arrangements for the first lesson time and location. We apologise that your instructor did not provide you with an early notification to postpone the class, causing inconvenience to your schedule. We will look into this matter and not to let it happen again.
We hope you can accept our apology and do let us know if there is anything we can do to make it up to you. Thank you. -
This message is not for your kids but for you.
I am sure many of you are water-safe and can even manage a couple of laps in the swimming pool.
Why not go further ?
Why not aim to be able to do 10 laps at a go? You do not have to race against time or against anyone. Just read up, do it a bit more regularly and try to reach a level or proficiency that you have not reached.
And I don’t mean swimming breaststroke (aka frog style). Do the front crawl (freestyle).
Get this book "Total Immersion" from the library or a book store. It is very well written and is paticularly suitable for swimmers who are no longer spring chickens (like me). -
Hi there,
Need advice on that.
The sports shops I visited sell swimming goggles with power for adults only, none for children. I’m looking for one for my 10-year-old kid, ~300 degrees.
Thanks in advance,
Xiaohu. -

Ok, I'll go check it out. Thx! -
Arena Showroom, I saw them in a few malls

Wow! I am not aware of this. Is it very expensive? Any idea?
Thank you in advance! -
can try out Queensway shopping center. At the top floor , there is a sports shop, Interlink or something. It’s the only sports shop there.
However, there is another small shop on the 2nd floor, and it’s cheaper there. Don’t know the name, but it’s next to a sports shop. Just walk around on the second floor, at the outer ring, till you come to a small shop selling swimming stuff. It’s manned by an old couple. -
The safest bet is world of sports either at Plaza or tampines branch cos I told my students mum and they got it there.
The brand is vgo
Some the speedo & arena branchs I visited before only carried Adult ones and not kids so its best you call the shop before heading down.
Vgo cost ard $28++ -
Hi UncleLim,
Your post caught my attention.
I have read Total Immersion and I must agree that there are indeed some good tips.
Anyway there are many books regarding swimming in the library that really worth reading up.
If you enjoy swimming and like to push a little bit without much time constraint
may I recommend you to join NUS Splashdown Swimathon in Sep.
It is a yearly event organized by NUS lifeguards corp. Swim 2.5 / 5 km in under 3 hours.
I'm doing the 2.5 km swim and I think 3 hours is quite generous.
Cheers and enjoy your swim.
