1AUGUST / SEPTEMBER 2012 SPLASH

As we celebrate our Nation’s 47th birthday this

9th August, the calling by our National Leaders for unity is

synonymous for our Club. I would like to resonate this “human

factor unity” to bring our Club for more successful years to

come. So far, with your support and encouragement, my

team and I are endeavouring to build our Family Club to its

fi rm footing steadily but surely.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome

two new co-opted members to the MC (Management

Committee). They are Dr David Chung and Mr Goh Soo Jin.

Dr Chung is a senior Chartered Architect & Arbitrator who will

chair “Development-612” Sub-Committee (previously called

“Development Sub-Committee”) whereas Mr Goh who is a

Director at Standard Chartered Bank will chair the Swimming

Sub-Committee. I call on all Members to extend to them the

same warmth and support that you have been giving to the

elected “The Members’ Voice Team”.

We have just fi nalised the formation of the various

Sub-Committees except the Audit Committee. As regards the

Audit Committee, I am inviting three members with fi nancial

and/or legal expertise to provide an independent review for

the governance of the Club’s fi nancial control systems and

its compliance with the Club Rules and Bye-Laws and the

relevant statutory requirements.

Of special mention is the new Lifestyle & Wellness

Sub-Committee. This committee will provide new

programmes for the young and senior members’ needs.

The MC would like to thank all Members who

have responded and came forward to assist the Club in the

various sub-committees. In fact, we are glad to see so many

professionals rendering their advice and expertise.

On behalf of the newly elected MC members, I

would like to thank the outgoing committee members for

their contributions during their term of offi ce. A “Thank you

(outgoing) & Welcome (new) Dinner” will be held in August.

To better comprehend the Club’s operations, the

MC had met up with the HODs on 13 June. We had two

communication sessions on separate days in July with

the staff to explain the new direction set by my MC. One

important message is to improve Club’s fi nancial position.

HODs have been tasked to work with their Sub-Committees

to fi nd ways to increase operational revenue while driving

cost down in order to stem the increasing defi cit.

As an update, the Club has instituted legal

proceedings in the High Court to recover about $2 million of

Club’s monies from Mr Freddie Koh, the former President.

On the Development front, we were stunned by

the notifi cation from Building Control Authority (BCA) in mid-

July informing the Club that it did not obtain the Temporary

Occupation Permit (TOP) / Certifi cate of Statutory Completion

(CSC) for our 35 newly-constructed and/or renovated areas

that had been opened for members’ use since 9 April 2012.

This is a non-Compliance with the BCA Code which means

these areas are not allowed for members/guests to access/

use.

An emergency MC meeting with the Club’s

architect, Hiladt Architects LLP, was called within two hours

of BCA’s notifi cation. Hiladt Architects have since submitted

the application for TOP and to regularize all drawings and

submissions. Meanwhile in the interest of time and to prevent

the wide disruption to the members’ usage, Hiladt Architects

had sought for Partial TOP inspection by BCA on 19 July;

and subsequently updated the Club that only the following

areas shall remain closed until further notice:

- Extended car park area from 2nd to 5th storey

- Canopy outside main entrance drive

- Lift to the newly extended block

- Health/spa rooms and jackpot room

- Palms Café and Main Kitchen

In the meantime, we look forward to the opening of the New

Palms at its original site by late September or early October

subject to TOP being obtained.

In September, we have scheduled the 18th SSC

Open Invitational Midget Swim Meet; and the Annual Sports

Awards Night.

Finally, on behalf of the Management Committee

and Staff, I wish all Members a Happy National Day. Together

we advance and progress with our Nation the interests of the

Club in mind.

With the members of the new Management Committee

having been assigned their respective portfolios and the

new Sub-Committees set-up and propagated with an infl ux

of new volunteers, we are looking forward to their ongoing

contributions which we believe will impact positively upon the

Club’s operations and administration.

With fresh faces and fresh ideas, the Management

Team looks forward to working closely with all the respective

Sub-Committees in order to harness their energies to help

the Club fully realize its goals and objectives.

On a different note, members are aware; we are in

the home stretch of the redevelopment works and with this in

mind, the Club is hoping to have most of the facilities back in

operation and available for members’ use by late September

or early October.

Moving forward, the Club will once again celebrate

National Day with a day planned with a full range of activities,

games and events which will transition into an evening of

watching the National Day Parade on the various screens

around the Club.

As a fi nal comment, should you have any feedback

on Club’s operations and services, then please do not

hesitate to email the Club at Communications@sswimclub.

org.sg or email the GM’s offi ce directly at gm@sswimclub.

org.sg. This feedback plays a vital role in further developing

and fi ne-tuning our operations for the benefi t of all members

accordingly.

Delay in Opening of The Palms &

Further Suspension of

Minimum Spending Levy

Due to delay in the renovation works, the opening of The

Palms is now scheduled between late September and

early October 2012.

The minimum spending levy is further suspended until the

effective date of the opening of The Palms.


Phase 2 Works Update

By the time Members received this edition of the Splash

Magazine, phase 2 works of the re-development is well under

way. Extension work had started for the Palms Café and the

Main Kitchen in early May. The new Palms Café would allow

more seating capacity and a new air-conditioning system

that replaces the dilapidated old units. In the kitchen the old

equipment is re-conditioned, new equipment added; and

the kitchen has a new layout for better workfl ow. These two

areas are near completion and should be able to open for

use by late September or early October 2012, barring any

unforeseen circumstances.

The construction work has progressively started

in the Fountain Café and the Pool Room in the Bowling

Centre. The Fountain Café will have more seating capacity on

extended timber deck and the Pool Room will accommodate

snooker tables. Work on these areas should be completed in

August and by mid-September respectively.

The toilet next to Palms Café is a new work

addition in phase 2. Demolition work started in early June.

The rejuvenated toilet will have a fresh look with new stone

fi nishes and fi tted with new sanitary fi ttings. The mechanical

ventilation is upgraded and an opening is created to allow

more natural light into the toilets.

Members Concerns and Feedback

The new Development-612 Sub-Committee has made

the task of following up on Members’ safety concerns and

feedback as a priority. Development-612 is working with the

Consultants to review the issues raised and to address them

expeditiously.

Improvement works would be implemented in

stages to minimize the inconvenience to Members.

Hat – checked! Sunglasses – checked! Water bottle –

checked! All prepared and ready to go on an excursion! Our

fi rst stop was Hay Dairies Goat Farm at Lim Chu Kang. A

staff member greeted us at the entrance upon arrival and

the tour began at the milking station, where the milking

process was explained. After that, we had a walk around

the goat pens before heading to the next destination, Land

Transport Authority (LTA) Gallery.

We learnt about the history of the transportation

system in Singapore as well as the present systems. We

were also educated on the different ways to manage road

usage for smoother traffi c fl ow and got a peek of the future

technology LTA is hoping to introduce over time. After that,

we headed to our last stop – The Animal Resort.

Greeting us was the owner, introducing us to the

various four-legged, two-legged, fi nned, furry and feathered

animals at the farm. She taught us how to properly interact

with the animals and gave everyone a packet of feed for the

animals. Most of the children loved the adorable rabbits and

guinea pigs. Roaming freely and leisurely on the premises

were cranes, chickens, ducks, hens and pigeons. There

was also a very tall and magnifi cent, brown, retired racing

horse at the stable, with a goat as companion. It was a rare

chance for the children and they were excited and eager to

pat the horse. After spending the rest of the afternoon at the

farm, it was time to head back to the Club. It was tiring but a

day fi lled with fun, rewarding and new experiences!

At the beginner course, our Kidz Club Members had fun

learning the techniques of twisting balloons into animal

shapes, bouquets and other objects. They fi rst learned the

simple steps of making a balloon sword and were given a

set of illustrated instructions for creating a dog and a laser

gun. Later, the kids had a contest to showcase their master

pieces.

Balloon Twisting workshop – 16 June

Twisting ballrooms 101 by Stella Su

The workshop started off with the instructor

Vidhya giving each participant a piece of coloured

paper to fold into half to make a card. Participants

picked their favourite colours and designs. Some

of them chose a strawberry design while others

picked the car and shirt design. When the card

cover was completed, it was time to pen down

their love for dad in words. The workshop was a

great opportunity for the kids to showcase

their art and craft skills to make a love

dedication to their dads. The end

result was an array of

beautiful cards and

many happy

Daddies!

The hard yards that our youngsters have put into training

certainly paid dividends on Friday evening. The boys 25

metre(m) backstroke was won by Armand Wagner by

the smallest of possible margins from Mirza Hameed.

The two boys battled it out again later in the breaststroke

with Armand winning a second gold. Kendall Tan won

the boys 25m freestyle and Amelia Ng won the girls

25m freestyle.

The boys 8 years and under is a competitive

age group event. Daniel Choo won the sprint 50m

breaststroke. It is interesting to note that all 15 boys

who took part in the race, recorded personal best times!

The boys had to swim the 200m Individual Medley (IM)

- not an easy event for young swimmers. Daniel took

the honours once again but was pushed all the way

by Gabriel Lee. The 100m freestyle was also won by

Daniel.

Lauren Chew won the girls breaststroke from

Sarah Yip and Lynette Lim. All three girls recorded best

times. Lauren Koek comfortably won the IM in a huge

life time best. She also won the 100m freestyle.

The boys 9 years saw Matthew Lim won the

200m IM and the 100m freestyle but was denied a third

gold by Nicholas Cheong. Coline Staes-Polet had a

great evening of swimming in the girls 9 years category.

She won all three races in best times.

We are short of boys and girls in the 10-11 years

age group. However, this did not prevent our swimmers,

from recording some great times. Adriel Lee swam to a

huge best time in the 200m breaststroke. Michael Lee,

Xavier Tng and Poshaan did the 200m butterfl y and the

400m IM for the fi rst time! Benjamin Cher knocked 40

seconds off his 400m IM time and snatched the gold

medal from Michael Lee. The same boys again fi nished

in the same order in the 100m freestyle. The girls in this

category did equally well as the boys. Nadine Staes-

Polet won the 200m butterfl y with her time faster than

the corresponding boy’s event! Nadine went on to win

both the 400m IM and the 100m freestyle.

Phuripong won the 12-13 years 200m

breaststroke from Jordan Yoong. Both boys knocked

huge chunks off their previous best times. Jordan and

Brandon set new personal bests and fi gured in the

medals at the end of the 400m IM but the event was

won by Melvin Lee. Melvin went on to win the 100m

freestyle with a massive new best time. The girls 12-13

years 200m breaststroke proved to be a great race with

Melissa Chan taking the honours from the fast improving

Dana Leong. Joy Lim had the swim of her life in winning

the 400m IM, recording an 11 second best time. Arika

Ong won the 100m freestyle.

SwimSafer is a new national water safety programme introduced by the National

Water Safety Council (NWSC) in July 2010, which combines both the National

Survival Swimming Award and the Learn-To-Swim into a progressive six-stage

programme.

The Swim Department conducted the fi rst SwimSafer course in June.

The course was held over fi ve days for 20 participants. They learned many

different skills, including movement in water, survival and rescue skills.

It was an enriching experience and those who passed the course

were given a certifi cate, collar pin and a badge. The Swim Department is very

encouraged by the success of the course and will be running another course in

December this year.

SwimSafer Course – 11 to 15 June

by Condrey Liu

The 66th Midget meet produced some outstanding performances from our

younger swimmers. 52% of all winners established new club records and 88%

of all swims were personal bests! It refl ects the hard work by swimmers and

coaches at the younger end of the club. Some youngsters were racing for the

fi rst time, whilst others are still learning to cope with the stress and procedures

of a swim meet.

Coline Staes-Polet, racing in the girls 9yrs category not only won all her

four events but also established new club records in each of them.

In the boys 9yrs category, Nicholas Cheong was prevented from a

achieving a clean sweep of all events by Matthew Lim. Nicholas set new club

records in the breast and free, whilst Matthew did the same in the back.

The honors were a little more evenly distributed in the boys 8ys category.

Daniel Choo won both the free and breast, Dylan Chin came home fi rst in the

back whilst Gabriel Lim won the fl y. All three boys raced to personal best times in

winning their gold medals. Lauren Chew won the fl y, breast and free in the girls

8yrs category - all in best times. Faith Khoo snatched the remaining title in the age

group - again in a new life time best.

Elizabeth Rose Lai won all events in the girls 7yrs category - an

outstanding achievement. Three boys collected gold medals in the boys 7yrs

category. Kailani Yang established a new club record in the fl y. He went on to win

the free later in the meet. Timothy Yeo knocked nearly two seconds off the record

in winning the backstroke event. Aaron Lim was the third winner in this age group,

swimming to a two-second best time.

Jadon Yoong collected gold in all events in the boys 6yrs category. He

set two new club records and a further personal best in winning his four ‘shinnies’.

Ashley Lim dominated the girls 6yrs category and set club records.

A small entry for both the 5yrs boys and girls races did not prevent

Marcus Ong and Marcus Lim sharing the gold medals. Marcus Ong won the fl y

and free with Marcus Lim winning the back and breast, both boys breaking club

records. Kaitlyn Ee had a great morning of racing as she won all four events in the

corresponding girls events-all in new club records!

Amanda Choo

Arika Ong Bryan Chong

Justin Loo

The boys 14 years and over

category had recently became very

competitive. The 200m breaststroke

was won by Justin Loo. The 200m

fl y proved to be a great race between

Bryan Chong and Marcus Ong, with

the honours going to Bryan. The

400m IM and 100m freestyle both

went to Marcus. Amanda Choo won

the girls 14 years and over 100m

freestyle.

That evening seemed to

be one of those rare nights when

everybody swam fast. Such meets

when nearly 90% of all swims are

personal bests only happened once

in a while. However, four weeks of

focused tough training throughout the

schools holidays could see a repeat

of these great results when we race

again on 27 July. Well done to all

swimmers!

The Swim Department organised the Midget Swim Camp

during the mid-year school holidays. 38 children ranging

from fi ve to nine years participated. The fi rst two days’

events conducted in the Club included activities such as pool

training, wushu, fun aerobics, treasure hunt, captains’ ball

and video shows. It provided a good opportunity for the kids

to build up rapport and teamwork. Of course, they enjoyed

themselves and it was a pleasure to see so many kids having

a whale of a time.

On the third day, they went to the Jurong Bird Park.

They were thrilled to see so many different birds. Some of

them were invited to feed the Lory during the feeding session.

They also watched the Kings of Sky show and enjoyed

themselves at the Water Play.

When it was time to return, they felt sad and

expressed reluctance to call it a day. A farewell dinner was

held at the Club to round off the camp.

The Fun Swim Camp was a success - made

possible with the help and cooperation of the parents. We

are looking forward to organize other similar events and the

children had expressed interest to join the next event.

Star of the show was Ethan Ong, who fi nished the meet with

were won in personal best times and all came in his favoured

backstroke.

Malcolm Low also covered himself in glory by

returning to Singapore with two bronze medals. Malcolm’s

medals were also won in backstroke races. He very nearly

made a hat trick of third places in the 200metre breaststroke

but was touched out on the wall and had to be content with

organizers deemed the meet to be a huge success and will

did she set life bests in winning the 50 and 200metre free but

also helped the Singapore team to win the 4 x 200 free relay

and the 4 x 100 medley relay.

Tao Li, busily preparing for the Olympic Games,

Hello Kids,

How have you been so far? Time flies! We are coming to the 2nd half of the year! How is your school work and school activities? Teacher’s Day is approaching on 1 September. Teacher’s Day is celebrated in every school and college. A wide range of activities is carried out to celebrate this special occasion. A teacher is a mentor that has been the guiding force of your life. We often fail to realize the contribution of our teachers until we are out in the world working. Why don’t you take this opportunity to appreciate the efforts of your teacher? From gifts, flowers, and a note of appreciation to planning a party, you can do anything to show how much you appreciate their efforts!

Greeting cards are also ideal to wish your teachers on this special day. You can find a lot of cards from the gift shops and bookstores. However, if you want your card to be special and unique, then why not do it yourself and dedicate it to your teacher. It’s never about the monetary value of a gift, a simple ‘Thank you’ note is enough to make your teachers feel appreciated and let them know how important they have been in your life.

Cheers,WINKIE THE LION
