Ethan Oh - Developing to be versatile in running and swimming
Ethan Oh, after running Woodlands Waterfront 1.5km race a day before, took part in Singapore Sports School's swimming competition. The competition was for National Age Group Swimming Championships 2013.
He was 8th position in 50 metres backstroke swim in last year's competition. In this year's race, we found out from the parents were just hoping that Ethan will be able to just improve on his time rather than improving in his position. The parents knew that by improving his timing, Ethan will be on his way to excellence in future.
True enough, he improved the swim time from 38.05sec done last year to 36.25sec for this year's competition. The parents were overjoyed with the time and told us that they could feel that Ethan is getting faster after joining Flexifitness' Young Champions Programme and at the same time doing the swim training as well.
We decided to interview Ethan Oh on his competition Singapore Sports School, a day before yesterday.

How about this year?
I was 9th.

Definitely, as I could see the improvement in my timing. In this race, there were about 3 foreign competitors taking part as compared to last year's competition where the competition had only locals taking part. In this competition, I was challenged to another level and I am happy with this.
