at the Penang Swimming Club,
whilst Stephanie trains at PERMATA Complex
with the PISA Swim Team.
A competitive swimmer trains at least FOUR times a week
for a two and a half to three hour session per training
Just like any other athlete, we have to do our S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G
Before a competition, we have to do our warm-ups.
Under the guidance of our coach, of course.
Warming-up.
"Take your mark!"
Just like all other athletes out there, our parents play a very important role in our daily training.
They send us for training even though it may be during the weirdest hours i.e.
5 A.M.
Although they would rather be at home in their nice warm beds
They make sure we have a proper breakfast,
Ample supply of food at home and during competitions.
They even follow us all around the country during competitions.
So, like any grateful child, here's a big THANK YOU to all our parents.
We owe our success to you.
