DSA swimmers make international standing at Singapore Open Meet
A team of 16 swimmers from DSA Swimming Club had the privilege of participating in the 18th Singapore National Swimming Championships held at the OCBC Aquatic Centre on 21-24 June 2023. The pressure of international exposure and competing with swimmers from multiple clubs from all over Asia did not hamper the exceptional swimmers and they gave a spectacular performance which put DSA Swimming Club into the international league.
Jayden Tan who is on track preparing for his Asian Games debut coming up in the month of September this year won the Men’s 400m Individual Medley Gold in spectacular fashion. Even more, Jayden was part of the quartet including Hii Puong Wei, Franci Gabriel McCartan and Welson Sim who made history by creating a new Meet Record in the Men’s 4x200m Freestyle Relay. It is notable that the previous record was held by the quartet of Joseph Schooling, Quah Zheng Wen, R. Luhur and K. Hyogo from a Singapore Swimming Club.
The DSA Relay quartet also took the Bronze in the Men’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay. Besides the Relay wins, Puong Wei brought home a Bronze in the Men’s 200m Individual Medley.
Congratulations to the DSA Swimmers for representing both their club and country at the international levels and bringing home the glory with stupendous performances. We wish our swimmers, special Jayden Tan all the best for the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou. Onward Team DSA!
