DOVER PHOENIX SC INVITATIONAL MEET 2014 (TEAM FIGHTING FISH )

READY..... GO....

Our Singapore legend swimmer during the 80s Ang Peng Siong

Mr Ang`s first major international competition was the Hawaii International Invitational Swimming Championship, an event which included many top swimmers from countries that boycotted the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. During the meet, Ang delighted the swimming fraternity by being the only non-American swimmer to qualify for the 50m freestyle final. As a result of his performance in Hawaii, Mr Ang received a full athletic scholarship from the University of Houston in the United States. At the US Swimming Championships in 1982, Mr Ang won the 50 m freestyle in 22.69 seconds, a world best time for that year. Mr Ang also represented Singapore at the 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi, and won gold in the 100 m freestyle. Ang was presented with the 'World's Fastest Swimmer' award for 1982.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING TO SWIM @ A YOUNG AGE

Swimming is great exercise, and swimming lessons for your young child encourages an active, healthy lifestyle. Swimming also helps to develop your little one's gross motor skills, which is critical for children under the age of 5. Younger children learn to interact socially with other students in the swimming class, to follow directions and to pay attention to their swimming instructor. Swimming lessons also teach your child water safety and can prevent accidental drowning.

LEARN TO SWIM - KICKING & STREAMLINE BODY POSITION

Kicking can seem an easy task to accomplish however, help to form the real power behind the arm strokes and can actually becoming a challenging and stressful process to adopt correctly.

1) Kicking- The power of your legs will drive you through the water. If the legs are kicking in the right direction, in an up and down motion, this will help to power the arms out of the water and move your body forward or backwards if you are on your back.

2) Streamline body position- This is extremely important when moving through the water. If your body is lopsided or moving from left to right then this will slow you down, it could lead to injury or lack of strength on one side of your body
