jong326571 — 2023-10-30 00:15:25 UTC

Participating in club championships, a race hosted by UWCSEA which also is the first race of the season. My goal for next time is to beat my current long course time of 26.8s.

October training camp

jong326571 — 2023-10-30 00:18:10 UTC

Training camp hosted by UWCSEA during the October break to improve and enhance swimming skills. something to work on is practicing my dives and turns throughout the season and master those things.

Dragon Fish vs Water Dragons (race)

jong326571 — 2023-11-10 00:14:51 UTC

School hosted race for the whole swim team to participate. The participants are split into 2 teams, and the people who are assigned leaders need to plan out and assign events for each swimmer. I had the role of the leader for the Dragon fish team, it was challenging planning out an event that everyone wanted as there are certain restrictions, but made it all work out in the end.

HS Acsis and SNSC (race)

jong326571 — 2023-11-27 00:10:54 UTC

Participated in highschool acsis and short course nationals last and this week, earned a few medals from highschool acsis, however did not really go an amazing time in both events and dislocated my shoulder off the dive in acsis. Will work harder and go to more gym sessions while increasing in stamina for potential longer length events. I want to try 400IM or 200 fly by seasac to give myself a challenge.

Capturing east update #1

jong326571 — 2023-11-27 03:12:09 UTC

During this session, I worked on organising the materials within these subcategories to make it easier to find and proofread over previous works. Still trying to fit in and find a spot for me to be more helpful as a new member of this service.

Capturing east update #2

jong326571 — 2023-12-11 00:07:19 UTC

I started understanding more on what to do, and have my own plans with my partner on what we need to complete each class. We work on our own projects while also helping other people out with what they do. I'm looking forward to my first interview with an actual person.

January swim series (race)

jong326571 — 2024-02-06 00:13:36 UTC

Participated in a local race at OCBC aquatic center where the singapore clubs, local schools, and international schools all participated in. Did not achieve a new personal best, so need to go back and keep training. My dive was pretty bad, so need to work on that as well.

Power training

jong326571 — 2024-02-06 00:28:49 UTC

Training my breastroke using power towers at school, currently im arching to much, and causes me to have less explosiveness, hence I need to try increase my stroke rate and stop arching over.

February swim series (race)

jong326571 — 2024-02-06 00:30:31 UTC

Second season of the swim series race, participated in 50 Breastroke and fixed my technique up a bit before the race. My next steps are to increase my stroke rate, change up my breathing timing, and also solidify my dive more which was already an improvement compared to the January swim series.

Capturing east update #3

jong326571 — 2024-03-14 08:08:22 UTC

More familiar with the environment and the work that needs to be done every session. New website is up and running with proofreads done, ensuring all information is accurate on the website.

SEASAC 2024 (race)

jong326571 — 2024-03-14 08:11:39 UTC

Came overall second for boys during the 2024 SEASAC and made 3 individual event finals. Overall i'm happy with the performance this time around, breaking my PB's by a solid amount proving that training has paid off. My goals for next year is to get medals in individual events and make the "A" relay team. This will be done through consistency in training and stated dedicated to the sport both in the pool and at the gym, doing workouts that support power, endurance.

Cas conversation #2

Going into detail regarding my CAS experiences at this point, and sharing stories from my own perspective, showcasing my own experiences and what I have learned so far.

Introduction to DJ Club

jong326571 — 2025-02-06 00:53:53 UTC

Among the first sessions of DJ club, my friends who have already done the activity for a while explained the basics to me on what to do and I mainly just sat there and watched to understand more of what was going on. It looked very complicated from my point of view, as there are alot of buttons on the board and a software you need to use. It believe it'll take alot of time to be able to sync the 2 songs together and apply flow to the music.

DJ club Progress 1

jong326571 — 2025-02-06 00:55:02 UTC

As I have been attending more sessions in DJ club, I slowly started playing around with the effects panels for the music while my friends were doing the main connecting and syncing musics together. My next goal is to be able to attempt on doing the whole program myself, although it may sound bad.

Seasac 2025

jong326571 — 2025-03-04 14:14:44 UTC

The varsity competition of 2025, the boys team won by 100+ points while breaking multiple of the seasac records. Also got gold medals from the men 4x50 medley relay but didn’t do too great in my individual events.

Cas conversation #1

jong326571 — 2025-03-04 14:19:20 UTC

In the first cas conversation, we checked in on my plans for the year, and what creativity and service aspects I want do get involved in and get done. I decided that I want to go with capturing east for my service, and leave creativity until grade 12 while completing the activity and service aspect this year.

The activity and service requires a lot of commitment as I do swimming and need to attend 5 sessions a week followed by a service. My goals for CAS this year is to be involved in my service by contributing and staying focused during after school hours, and I want to achieve many personal best times for my swimming and make the seasac relay team. Hopefully, I can find a creativity that I enjoy doing next year and take good part in that as well.

Project week bali

jong326571 — 2025-03-04 14:25:19 UTC

The project week I chose was ISSC in Bali. The trip started when we went and stayed in a local village for a while, where we got to understand more about Balinese culture through living with the locals, doing local work and services, and eating local food while visiting places. Although I felt like the living conditions were pretty harsh, I managed to pull though and this really made me realise how lucky I was to be able to have hot water and a running aircon while being able to live in a safe and comfortable environment. I did enjoy some of the local activities, such as visiting the rice fields.

After that, we moved onto the activity part of this trip which was surfing. This was the best part of the trip as I felt like the living conditions were much better compared to before, and we were also able to continue enjoying Balinese food while learning how to surf. I really wished that the surfing part could have lasted longer, because I was just starting to get the hang of it and it ended.

Reflected upon my CAS journey throughout these 2 years and touched up on what I have learned, different experiences I have had, and how they resonate with the school's values.

DJ club Progress 2

jong326571 — 2025-03-17 14:29:22 UTC

I start to understand more about what each button does on the board, and learn to match the tempo of the 2 tracks on the laptop system and transition them together through the use of different effects and such on the DJ Board.
