Volunteering for FINA WORLD CUP





It has been a meaningful weekend for some of the lifeguards here. We've volunteered to help out for the Singapore leg of FINA World Cup 2010! It was amazing to watch the swimmers break records after records, and I believe most of us also realized how it is not as simple as it seemed to organise a swimming event as grand as this. In any case, we've all enjoyed ourselves.

We all had some applause (and free yakults) for the hard work, didn't we? :D

Till then,

BM course and Nationals updates

Attention especially to those who are interested in getting their Bronze Medallion Certification (BM Cert)! Mr Ivan, after what seemed like forever, has finally approved the pending coach to start carrying out lessons for Lifesaving 1/2/3 and BM. The date for the first lesson and other details about the course are tentatively unconfirmed. For those who are interested to take this course, please contact our captain chen kuan and let him know. It would most probably be on every Tuesday. There are limited slots as to the number of students the coach can take, so do let us know soon if you're keen.

On the other hand, Lifesaving Nationals is fast approaching! In fact, it is barely 2 weeks away, and here's hoping all those who are participating this year will work extra hard and reap some results to show off to Ivan! And for those aspiring participants, don't worry, there is always next year. Meanwhile train hard to catch up, and don't forget to keep your Aug 1st free so that you can be down to support NYP!

just a simple quote to always remember: You need to believe you can to be able to! (:

NUS Lifesavings invitationals 2010

Hello dying blog of NYP Lifesaving, so long!
It's good to be back to share good news and insights instead of making usual announcements and feeble attempts to revive this blog, lol.

Firstly, I apologise for this delayed post! Been trying to find time and all but time's been tight, sorry!

Secondly...

WELL DONE NYP LIFEGUARDS! (:





It was a proud and satisfying moment for most, in fact every one of us, wasn't it? :D

I was certain everybody did their best, and whether or not you broke your Personal Best or got disqualified, it does not matter anymore. What mattered most was that every one of you completed your events, and every one of you put up your best fight.

What made me even more glad was that among all the watchers and fellow competitors, we ourselves were not the only ones who recognised our efforts! I believe everyone would agree with me how incredulously heart-warming it is to be praised behind our backs for all the hard work that we've put in; all those tough times when 3-hours of trainings seemed to go on forever and ever seemed to be all worth it after all (:

And so we've fared fairly well for this year's NUS, what's next?

Lifesaving Nationals is coming up very soon, and I mean like really VERY SOON. Tentatively, the date is fixed on 1 August, which is in 2 very short months. During then, the competitive level would definitely be more intense and pulse-racing as compared to NUS's.

I would love to smile and say "Don't worry, just relax and it would be fine." But sadly that's not the case. It would be a tougher fight than ever, which signifies a tougher training period ahead to boost our chance of doing even better.

In this 2 short months, it would be all up to us to slash our timings to catch up with the bests few, but just so you know while we are training, our competitors would be too. Safe to say, we not only have to catch up, but we also have to exceed. There were way too many 'almost' during NUS, whereby we were literally seconds away from those shiny medals. In order to prevent history from repeating itself during Nationals, I believe there is no better time for medal dreamers to wake up and start stepping way out of your own comfort zone, because otherwise you can seriously stop dreaming.

In a nutshell, I am trying to tell all competitors to brace up yourself for tougher days ahead. Train hard, and while it might be a rough journey, we'll make it all worthwhile! (:

*

On a lighter note, I wish to inform those who do not have their BM cert that your course training will be starting very soon within these 2 weeks, so do check out this space often to stay updated. Alternatively, you can turn up frequently for trainings whereby announcements would usually be made spontaneously.

Also, all should note that beach trainings has been resumed. Starting from this weekend, every Sunday 10.30am we will meet at Harbourfront MRT station and head down to Palawan beach together to start training for our open water events.


See you guys during training then, xoxo!

announcements

Hiiiiiii everyone!

In this post, there are three issues to talk about.

Firstly, today some of the seniors had went down to Arena warehouse to get direct stocks, as well as applied for NUS competition's team package.

The swim suit design will be the blue colour one instead of the dark grey one, according to majority votes (: It costs roughly $33 for just the swimsuit itself, or $60+ with another blue rash guard. May post the pictures up next time. This is just a short update to inform all of you, the package price may decrease but for the time being, it will be this price.

Btw, do come down for training next Tuesday to collect all those Arena stuff that you told the seniors to help you buy alright, we don't want to keep the items for too long!

*

Next up, we wanna inform you guys about the BBQ gathering on Friday, Vesak Day!

location: Aaron's house at Hougang. Please sms him @ 96213877 if you don't know how to go, or what is the address. Alternatively, you can check the facebook event on his facebook wall. The details should be inside.
time: BBQ's starting around 6pm but you may wanna turn up earlier to help with the set up! It will end the next day, so feel free to stay over but if not, just go back before your curfew!
date: Vesak Day, Friday, 26 May

To go, please RSVP at the facebook event itself. Thanks!

*

Finally, the last announcement!

Some of us came up with this brilliant pot luck dinner idea, and we were thinking of trying it out during one of our training! Maybe next Tuesday..... :/

Anyway! How does it goes? Very simple actually, every one will pass Aaron $2 for lifesaving funds and we will use the fund to buy ingredients like Tuna, cream cheese, ham, bread, drinks etc, and after training we will make sandwiches to eat as dinneerrrr! Cool right, so cost and time effective somemore, haha! But more details we would probably discuss during the BBQ itself on Friday la! :D



So that's about all, hope to see everyone down for training regularly, and please inform captain should you be really unable to come down for training ok! And really hope to see everyone on Friday's BBQ!

TIME TO PARTYYYY ;p

more updatesssss

Some of us may be still experiencing the hangover from nitrogen due to the weekend dives at Tioman, but that doesn't gives any of us excuses not to go for morning AND evening training tomorrow!

Right, here are some updates with regards to club crawl (again)!

Firstly, I would like to remind all the in-charge to take note that club crawl is NEXT THURSDAY, so better get cracking! Whoever needs help due to other commitment please please please let us know now, so everything would not be in a mess when the day itself arrives.

So far, our notice board is under construction already. Apparently Shimin & CK came up with this amazing concept (not telling now, keep you all in suspense hehehe) which would be carried out tomorrow after morning training. I will probably be assisting them with the notice board tomorrow as well.

I hope Aaron is coping well with the T-shirt designing, could you please attach and email all of us your work asap alright.

As for the flyers and poster designs, Ah Kuan please remember to do it and email EVERYONE as well. Don't email selectively hor, everyone ah! (:

We also have the banner... I was told that Kiathan suggested to print the entire banner at some print shop, but some of us feel that it is too expensive and a little uncalled for, since we have budget constrain and if we do it ourselves, we get to bond a bit too! So, Kiathan please email everyone a copy of the banner design and we can figure a day to start painting it alright!

And that leaves us with Weilun's swimsuit design selection. I guess this can wait till club crawl is over, but meanwhile let's try to make up our mind which design should we use ultimately yeah, otherwise all the sizes would have been taken up already, and then we'll have to become junkies again, taking all the left overs.

That's all for now, see everyone at the pool at 9AM tomorrow for training!

Clubcrawl 10 updatesssss

HELLO EVERYBODY!

Hope all of you've been constantly checking back here as it's more lively now that we are communicating through here more often. okay here're some serious updates on clubcrawl '10. We decided to assign an in-charge for different components of club crawl, and the in-charge will be responsible for planning and completing the component assigned to him/her.

Flyer designing - Captain Kuan
Club Crawl yellow lifeguard shirt - Captain Kuan
Notice Boards designing - Jiamin & Shimin
Logo & Slogon designing - Aaron
Banner - Kiat Han
Happiness photo - Team
Logistic for competition (swimsuit, shirt, jacket, package etc) - Weilun

I hope that the rest of the team will assist the in-charge in completing their tasks before dateline, which is club crawl itself. We aim to make this year's club crawl a roaring success ok!

Btw, I've did a bit of research and found a pretty useful logo which could be used on our team shirt.


gimmie some response as to what you think about it alright, spam the tagboard! and here are some slogan which I think might make it, comment too ty:

- we try to stay dry, that's how good we are
- the guys by the pool
- so others may live
- training hard to save life


Meanwhile that's about all, train hard for your events,
NUS invitation is on 19 June!


Hugs and Kisses

club crawl 2010

HARLO, SO LONG PEOPLE!

Okay, guess most of us almost forgot this space existed rightttt!

Okay. Some of you may not have realised, but Club Crawl is fast approaching and it's about time we start preparing for it, esp if we're going to take this recruitment exercise seriously- which we should. I personally feel that even though I don't think anybody is checking out this (so dead) blog any time soon, I've decided to inform through here as well, that we should have a meeting to discuss about this event soon! Some of the decisions/applications have to be made by 31st March, which is coming wed, hence I am suggesting meeting on Tuesday. Below are some of the things we should be discussing about:

  1. booth decoration
  2. team shirt for club crawl or not (and design if we are opting for one)
  3. orientation camp for recruits or not
  4. flyers
  5. during Club Crawl itself
  6. etc
So hopefully the meeting will be a fruitful and meaningful one, and hopefully attendance will be satifactory alright!

Till then, peeps!
P.S. remember to turn up for training alright, currently doing full day training for wed and fri, for more details please contact captain ong @ you-know-the-number :p
