Why we do this part 3: On Yourself...

Now that you had read the simple rationale why we do pool events, the most important reason or key takeaway is yourself. That’s why in additionally to asking you guys what you all had for lunch, the mindless questions, I would additionally quiz you guys on why you all have intend to join competition? Some of the common answers are,

- Keep fit
- Just for experience
- Fun
- Win Medal
- Revenge (yes, someone said that along the lines)
- Break all the records (NTU LG records only)

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, of course. But in general, I hope everyone can align their goals to be a better lifesaver.

- keep fit (putting in effort to train, you will definitely be stronger, faster better LG.)
- Just for experience (The most boastful, worst objective. You can tell everyone you partook in comp before. People will think you are a very good lifesaver, but you might not be)


- Fun (As long as you put in effort to make it an enjoyable experience for all, don’t whine and complain, it will be fun for everyone.)
- Win Medal (you will definitely be a better lifesaver)
- Revenge (yes, someone said that along the lines) {Nothingness is naught, naught is nothingness. Why bother? But you will become better}
- Break all the records (NTU LG records only) {Do I need to elaborate more? Such a straightforward goal}

It’s only in lifesaving that you get the opportunity to perfect your finning, manikin towing, clipping technique, surface dive, and endurance or sprinting.

I go to the pool every Monday and Wednesday hoping you guys can remember you are here to be a better lifesaver.

This is a skill that enables you to save lives, no matter how underrated it seemed. It’s only imperative that you perfect your craft.
