      Wolfgirl:
      My girl just uses the fins sold at her club. Cheap. About $15 a pair. Or less.


      My girl can do 400IMs nowadays. And her strokes have improved significantly.
      She smiles when she is in the pool, which is very important. It shows that she enjoys it and not hates it.
      Hi Wolfgirl and Swimironkids,

      Tks for info. Is there any specific brand/model? Will checkout from mustafa too!

      Adding to this thread. What the advices for newbie parent whose kids are going into competitive swimming?

      How to help them overcome the laps swimming, at the same time the tough training wouldn't kill the swimming interest. :sick:

        Just updating. Brought my girl for a swim with me this morning. She is able to match me stroke for stroke. I have to swim hard to keep up with her. (I do 50 free at average 1.02 leisure) so I estimate her 50 free is around 58s. Quite a good improvement…

          I was happy and honored to be one of the few Coaches to attend the Singapore Swimming Association Awards & Appreciation Night 2013 last Sun to witness the awards of the sportsman of the year going to Joseph Schooling again!

          Well done Joseph..he's still in US so his proud Mum collects on his behalf! 🙂

            The best thing about Joseph Schooling is not his swimming prowess, it’s his personality. My son and a couple of kids met him in the pool once, he was chatting with them and hi-fived my boy when he realized that my DS was also in ACJS, Joseph’s alma mater.

            Joseph Schooling is a polite, humble and well brought up young man, as far as I observed. There was no airs about him.
            Well done, Mr and Mrs Schooling !

              ya they are nice people! The mum took a glass of water for the emcee that night, the emcee said this is the first time someone ever offer him a drink after 10-15yrs in his business..hehe
              Btw I was there think 3 weeks ago, so I went to the changing room after the training, no vulgarity and hope it stays that way 🙂
