Singapore open water team finishes 14th, calls it "good indicator" ahead of SEA Games
Singapore's open water swimming team says the World Aquatics Championships have served as a good indicator of where it stands. The team concluded its campaign with a 14th place finish in the 4 x 1,500m relay on Sunday morning at Sentosa. It's a result the team is proud of, especially with the relative youth of the team's swimmers; Singapore finished 18th the last time it competed in the relay event, during the 2022 World Aquatics Championships in Budapest. Team Singapore is also taking part in December's Southeast Asian Games, where open water swimming will make a comeback for the first time since 2019. Nadine Yeam with more.
