Score: Overall 3^rd

Everyone had the itch to either dunk a friend, swim or touch the inviting calm and tranquil pool of water at the familiar SRC swimming pool. Does the early bird really catches the worm ? Punctual spectators at the pool had wished they had more sleep since the event only started 55 minutes later than expected. Definitely a case of the early worm being eaten up by the early bird . Nevertheless, I’ m sure the presence of the punctual spectators are a comfort for the swimmers who have trained so hard for this very day.

And with all the scores combined we came in third for IHG swimming 2009 .Good job Hall 6 !

There were many swimmers who stood out at the competition .For those who were present, we would all recognize Ming Lee to be the only swimmer in our team who refuses to wear goggles.

Also, Kaiyan proved herself to be one of hall 6 strongest woman .Miss kaiyan can impressively swim as fast as the guys .yet, It is hard not to find Kaiyan breaking out in girlish giggles. This is one tough girl behind a girlish demeanor.

The girls were commenting on how the guys in our team have nice boards , for the definition of nice , please do contact yiling.

Hall 6 has quirky swimmers who find it hard to swim in a straight line , he is none other than Weizhe. Nevertheless, Mr zig zag swims fast. Imagine his unleashed potential if he had done away with the detours.

The swimmers were all very excited at the event, their enthusiasm and passion for the sport showed when all of the swimmers cut off on average, 2 seconds off their personal best.
