2nd Inter-School Synchronized Swimming Competition
The 2nd Singapore Swimming Association (SSA) Inter-School Synchronised Swimming Competition organised by the Singapore Swimming Association was held on 24 and 25 March 2011. This year, Methodist Girls’ School (Primary) won the overall Primary Division champion and Singapore Chinese Girls’ School (Secondary) clinched the overall Secondary Division championship title. Both schools have defended their respective titles for the second consecutive year. About 100 girls participated in this annual inter-school competition in solo, duet and team events. With their colourful costumes and elaborate make-up, the girls have added much vibrancy to the event at the Co-Curricular Activities Branch’s swimming pool. The girls synchronised their routines to all genres of music, from the classical to electronic pop. When they were showcasing their routines to the judges and supporters, they exhibited true sportsmanship as they maintained a great sense of camaraderie among their teammates and competitors. It was truly a delightful day witnessing the girls enjoying the adrenaline rush from competing with their counterparts in the hopes of bringing glory to their schools.
