September: a month of excitement!

It's been a pretty exhilarating month so far... With Splashdown 2011 being successfully held, and our very own bunch of ULC 'new bloods' rising up to the occasion @ our AGM held earlier this month! ;)


The Annual NUS Swimathon - Splashdown 2011
Organizing committee, ULC seniors/members, volunteers after the event :)

For ULC, Splashdown 2011 has always been an event to promote a healthy and active lifestyle through swimming, an opportunity to promote lifesaving as a skill and sport (by creating some awareness to the public through our demonstrations), and lastly, an avenue for like-minded people to gather and push themselves mentally and physically through a marathon in the waters. :) This year, Splashdown saw a variety of participants taking part, including lifesaving teams across Singapore, the NUS aquathlon team, NUS students, as well as the public.
For the first time, we are also extremely honoured to have 2 handicap participants this year, Adam and Alvina, who have inspired many (including myself) by completing the 5km swimming marathon within 3 hours :)


ULC Annual General Meeting AY2011/2012
The incoming 30th Management Committee with their *peace/victory* sign :) Congratulations guys on getting elected!

The ULC AGM was held successfully with the 30th MC being elected. The AGM was attended by Mr Sim, the LS123 and BM batches, as well as our competitive lifesaving team + seniors + grand-seniors. How can I forget, our very own Barbarella (out-going Vice-chairperson)? ;) She was able to "attend" the AGM via webcam as she's currently abroad on exchange.
This year we witnessed some pretty intense Q&A by our seniors which really put our members to the test! We hope the session allowed the incoming MC to have a clearer picture and vision of ULC and its role within NUS and Singapore (as well as abroad), and that they'll be able to bring ULC to greater heights! Congratulations to the 30th MC and we wish you the very best!
