| Day 42 - Swimming |
Swimming![]() Written by Wei Han Photos by Wei Han Swimming was held in the SRC Pool with all 16 halls participating in the only swim competition in this year's IHG. The events were: 4x50 m male breaststroke, 4x50 m female breaststroke, 4x50 m male freestyle, 4x50 m female freestyle and 4x50 m team medley. The day started off with the heats for all five events; as there were sixteen halls for each event but only eight lanes, each event had two heats. Hall XI was disqualified due to technicalities for both breaststroke events. However, we managed to finish third overall for the team medley event, with Justin, Wei Chong, Gillian and Xin Yu competing in the backstroke, freestyle, breaststroke and butterfly events in the team medley. After a break for lunch, it was time for the team medley finals. With a minor adjustment in the team strategy, Hall XI's team was ready to go in the finals. And go they did. Gillian, Xin Yu, Wei Chong and Justin all put in their best to ensure that Hall XI finished in third again in the finals, to secure our only medal in this year's Swimming IHG. Add your comments |
