June Aquatics Holiday Camp

Torpedo partnered with Singapore Sports Hub to carry out the Aquatics Holiday Camp from the 6th to 20th of June. The camp provided students the chance to sharpen their skills in either swimming, diving or artistic swimming. Additionally, they were given the opportunity and flexibility to attempt the other sports and learn the basics from our budding coaches!

Certificates were handed out to each participant to commemorate their participation and effort throughout the programme. We look forward to introducing more similar camps to further expose new and present students to the aquatic sports offered!

Splash It! – GetActive Programme

9 August 2021 – Torpedo Dive School organised a Splash It! event in conjunction with ActiveSG’s GetActive! Programme. 35 participants signed up for the online event where we organised an introductory session on diving dryland activities. A question and answer session with our National diver and Torpedo coach, Timothy Lee, was held towards the end of the session.

The physical diving try out sessions were held at Toa Payoh Swimming Complex on 21 August after Phase 2HA restrictions. Participants had the opportunity to learn some basic fundamental diving skills and had a chance to climb to 10m platform tower for an unforgettable experience!
