Prudential and the Singapore Swim Stars is rolling out the red carpet and a brand new promotion for all things aquatic in Singapore.
The splashy start to the 3-day series is set to begin on September 5th with mano-a-mano duels in the pool as well as open water challenges of 800m and 4 km on September 7th at the Sea Sport Center along the Changi Coast Walk in Singapore.
Local open water swimming guru David Tay explains, “We definitely see progress in open water swimming in Singapore after the interest in 2011 because of the SEA Games in Indonesia. The Singapore Swim Stars organization will organize a race for the SEA and Asian swimmers and will invite world-class swimmers to take part in 2015 as well as conduct workshops and clinics prior to the event.”
