Record 9 teamNUS finishers at Kapas-Marang Swimathon 2014

Heavy medal score for teamNUS at Public Service Meet 2013

This year's Public Service Meet saw a great turnout for the NUS staff swimmers. 
Dedicated training efforts and high spirits during the meet were rewarded by the largest number of medals garnered by the men's team in the past 4 years (1 gold, 3 silver, 6 bronze). Especially cheerful was the senior's 4x50m freestyle relay team who narrowly beat their closest rivals to third place and bronze medals. Overall, teamNUS finished again in 5th place out of 17.

Success for Team NUS at Public Service Meet 2012

NUS staff swimmers had a great time and scored at Singapore's prestigious Public Service Meet, held at the Tessensohn Pool on July 7. 

Against fierce competition from the favoured teams, the NUS swimmers succeeded in defending last year's 5th place.


And don't they look great in their new outfits?

 Hooray to all participants and big thanks to their enthusiastic supporters!

Impressive 3rd place in the Kapas-Marang Swimathon

The staff swimmers managed to bring home additional honors to NUS with Jana coming in 3rd in the women category, swimming the > 6.5 km open water course from the island of Kapas to mainland Malaysia in a mere 2 hours.

First place overall was won by the German champion over 25k Benjamin Konschak in a time of 1h28min. Martin managed to swim butterfly throughout the whole distance (not surprisingly, he was the only contestant in the fly category). But the greatest respect of all earned a small group of physically handicapped people that managed to successfully finish the race course within the 4h cutoff time. Most notably, a swimmer without any arms attached to his shoulders swam a 7.5 km drift course in a stunning 3h42min (this is neither a joke nor a typo). Kudos and Congratulations to all 300+ contestants! And thanks to Simon for sharing the above photos with us.
