NUS Splash Down for this year has came to and end on 12/9/09. The event was definitely a blast; making new friends, meeting old friends, swimming with a goal in mind to reach 100 laps, receiving more than enough sunburns for ourselves, swimming more than over 2000 laps altogether!!!
Most of us did it! To be able to swim up to 100 laps(5000m) was much more than just being physically fit, it was also a critical test of the mind. There were a few factors to kill while on the mission. The sun was a draining enemy to me. I got dehydrated in the water. Contradicting but true. While others said it was 'boring' to swim 100 laps aimlessly and gave up halfway? Well... the lists goes on...
Yet again, there were also the very mighty ones who completed the Swimathon with minimum effort lah. They're the Gods............ and the rest are the.............. Gods-to-be... :D
......and the best part after the mass swim? Getting awesome voluptuous goodie bags with more than enough gifts which we initially would have gotten with our no of lap points. Lots of snack packs, Mens Health Magazine, Coupons for Fabulous Tan, Facial bottle, Foot notepad, Splash Down Tee, etc...
Definitely a very fruitful and enriching new experience for 1st timers like the year 1s and 2s(some). Whereas for the seniors, its another familiar challenge and excitement to pursue under the sun and under the water :D
Personally, I'd be looking forward to more Splash Downs in the years to come!!! :DDD
I got most of the photos from Young Lifesavers.. Thanks to him for the pics :)
