Samuel Swimsafer Bronze award, dinner with Yongs

Samuel took his Swimsafer 2.0 Bronze level exam on Sunday afternoon, after our regular weekly swim. He was the smallest size taking the exam (probably one of the youngest). Most are actually taking Stage 3, with 3 taking Bronze. Samuel took his Stage 3 recently on 17 Nov 2019.

First to take an on-line multiple choice questions text. Then swim survival-backstroke, survival-sidestroke, back-stroke, freestyle and breaststroke, each for 1 minute. Wear float in the water, take off T-shirt and shorts while in the water and to thread water for 2 minutes.


Francis (our coach) was present, too. Tobby was the examiner.

The Bronze cert:

In the morning, Grace swam 20 laps continuously, YowCH did 10 (freestyle) in 17m40s (5 secs faster than last week), while the children did resistance training. We ordered lunch from Kay Lim to eat before Samuel’s exam.

In the evening, we visited the Yongs, and had dinner together. We brought along spam-fries and maoshanwang durians.

After dinner, we enjoyed gin-rummy:
