Season 3 swimming was far different from anything I expected it to be, due to COVID 19, Singapore entered a circuit breaker period. Initially, aside from school being closed, we were still able to train in public swimming pools so my friends and I would meet up and smash out a few sessions. But then things got more serious, Singapore started closing down public pools. I thought this would be fine as I would be able to train in my condo pool yet they closed those down as well. So as of now, for the past 6 weeks, I have been training every day, top and tailing my days with land workouts, cycling and running. It’s difficult but I don’t think I’m burning nearly as many calories as I was before the circuit breaker but at least I keeping the gears turning.
I was a bit disappointed this year because I had qualified for British nationals and was extremely keen to participate. In addition to this many swim meets were cancelled, this is a very important time as this time of year is usually when we post our best times and I wanted to send something impressive off to the universities that I’m looking at.
In season three they also hosted a remote sports awards video, I was awarded MVP and athletes choice award, it felt extremely pleased when I heard this and it’s nice to know that all of my hard work is paying off in some way, shape or form.
