SHOOTING STARS
15/16 SEASON
The Shooting Stars Swim Team has had a very successful
year despite the bumpy start to the season with more than
a month of training sessions cancelled due to the haze!
We took part in 12 external and 5 internal swim meets.
Highlights include the Singapore National Age Group
Swimming Championships (SNAGS) and the Indian Ocean
All Stars Challenge (IOASC) held in Perth, WA. As a team,
the swimmers have set many records, with the standouts
being Payton Foster winning our first medal at SNAGS, Anna
Bierley qualifying for the finals at SNAGS (Seniors) and Maile
Sullivan winning the Overall Champion Trophy for Girls 8 &
Under at IOASC!
Our in-house Starfish Swim School Meet was a very fitting
way for both coaches and swimmers to bid farewell to our
current pool with some great end-of-season personal best
times achieved.
The team has grown with swimmers joining us from other
programs as well as through the promotion of swimmers
from within our Learn to Swim program. Unfortunately, it is
with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to the following
swimmers who will be leaving us this summer: Emma Bell,
Sofia Bucey, Kate Dalziel, Dylan Foster, Payton Foster, Flynn
House, Juliet Lowery, Mia Lowery, Chloe Ng and Declan
Pollard – we wish them all the best with the move!
The Club also wishes everyone a lovely summer and we
look forward to welcoming you all back for the Fall season
commencing on August 15 at Bukit Merah!

Team and how you can be a part of this awesome group,
