NUS Lifesaving exchange program to Taiwan 2012 - IRB rescue

We brave the fast flow rapids in Wulai and we tried the tedious IRB rescue with guts and determination and that help us to expose to more lifesaving skills that cannot be found back home, which we learned and benefited and also to bond us much closer. Thanks to our wonderful Lifesaving friends from Taiwan. Shenlaushi

THE RETURN OF AWESOMENESS: 13TH NUS LIFESAVING INVITATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

This year’s Lifesaving Invitational Championships was undoubtedly a remarkable event. Held at NUS Student Recreation Centre Swimming Pool, with experienced lifesavers from a wide range of schools and institutions, it provided a great platform for lifesaving teams all around the country to share the techniques and spirits of lifesaving.

This event will never be so fabulous without the support of all the participants. We, the organizing committee, sincerely appreciate their high standard performance and excellent spirit shown in this event.  This competition is definitely a fruitful experience for many of the participants, especially for the new competitors. Hope the newbies would understand more about lifesaving as a sport and feel the spirit that drives the lifesavers. And also good job to our medalists! Your efforts and hard work have paid off. We believe that all participants, no matter what prize they won during the two days, will maintain their hard work and devotion to lifesaving, and continue to promote lifesaving in Singapore to a higher level.

We would also thank everyone in the organizing committee, the event will not be so smooth and successful without all your hard work in the preparation and operation. Special thanks to all the seniors that came down to help out and guide the juniors along. Thank you officials for running the events too. And last but not least, we would thank our sponsors for their generous support to make this event happen.

Super abs ....

While many of you are tucked in your books... have some fun readings ...
You will need this if you are:
40 and above...
Idle and not coming down for trainings
Drinking and get drunks
Nevertheless, it enhance a man looks...... for seconds only

Serenity, peaceful and calm at the pool

The monster call exam is out to battle with you all, as many hide in the smelly cave preparing for the fight...

The pool is very empty and quiet without you all...................

Do remember that your studies come first, that why you are here .... do bury yourself in your books for the next 3 to 4 weeks....
However, if you feel stressful and down after those long hours of staring at your books, cold and shivering all over at the smelly cave.... do come down to our holy water to relieve and let go.
(let go of toxic waste must go to the toilets ah!!)

If you want to listen to the long, sharp whistle sounds then come down to the holy water on Mon or Wed or Fri, alternatively the hot sand is waiting for you at Sentosa on Saturdays.

Wishing the best for your coming battle with the monster......
