On Sunday 19 January 2020, I participated in my first aquathlon. An aquathlon is a competitive race that involves both open water swimming and running in succession.

Bangkok Feeding Frenzy 2019 // Swimming
My 5 and final feeding frenzy. It’s been quite a journey. I’ve grown as a person, an athlete, a team member. Climbed the ranks from looking up to seniors to being a senior. I’ve had my ups and downs in swimming but to me feeding frenzy isn’t about the swimming really. It’s about having fun […]
SEASAC Cross Country 2019 // Activity

After hours and hours of planning, and numerous setbacks we successfully completed our week of activities and service. I am happy to say we all made it back in […]

SEASAC Swimming 2019 // Swimming

Feeding Frenzy 2018 // Swimming
Feeding Frenzy is an annual meet held in Bangkok attended by the East Dragons swim team every year. I think this was my 5th year attending the meet, and every year I always say it’s probably the most fun of the year. For multiple reasons. One, the atmosphere of Feeding Frenzy is different from many […]
FINA World Cup 2018 // Swimming
During the middle of November I was given a chance to participate in the FINA world cup. This is kind of a big thing as the FINA world cup is an event held for some of the fastest swimmers in the world, world records holders and olympic champions. While I never intended to beat them […]
TTS Merlions Meet at OCBC Aquatics // Swimming
Recently I attended the annual TTS Merlions meet, this was held at the OCBC aquatics center. I overall thought it was a good early-season meet for myself as I don’t usually swim early season meets well. There were some disappointments, but my 50m breaststroke was really quite good scoring 2nd place and making a new […]
