Lifesaving

There's a little-known sport: Lifesaving.
Lifesaving is a useful skill to have especially in this island country where there is plenty of sea, reservoirs and swimming pools; you never know when you'll need to jump in and save someone.

Dank's Lifesaving History
Dank attained his basic lifesaving qualification (Bronze Medallion) during his first year in university, and has since gotten higher awards (Bronze Cross, Award of Merit and Distinction Award) and participated in Inter-Varsity/Polytechnic and National Lifesaving Competitions with the NUS University Lifeguard Corps (NUS ULC).

Open Water - Beach events; running on the beach, and canoeing, surfboarding, towing and swimming in the sea.
