Singapore, Singapore (PRWEB) September 11, 2014 -- Three American Olympic swimmers joined Stamford American International School students in a dialogue of tips and techniques followed by hands on training to equip Stamford’s top swimmers to achieve more than they think they can.

As a continuation of Stamford’s Global Mentor Program, 30 of Stamford’s top swimmers had the opportunity to ask questions and receive dedicated swim training with the American heros. The swim clinic held at Stamford was part of the broader Singapore Swim Stars event that was held September 5-7, 2014. During the clinics, the Swim Stars shared tips on technique, competition and sportsmanship with the students.

Jessica Hardy has won 28 medals in major international competitions, 14 gold, 9 silver and 5 bronze spanning the Olympics, World and Pan Pacific Championships. David Plummer, World Champion Silver Medallist, offered his many years of expertise and swimming accomplishments to the students of Stamford as he dove in the water to demonstrate the art of gliding with limited resistance. Among Nathan Adrian’s many accomplishments, the reigning Olympic 100m freestyle champion finished the Singapore Swim Stars swim meet at the OCBC Aquatic Centre with two wins in the 100m and 50m free style.

After a short relay competition during the clinic, a few of Stamford’s best swimmers were chosen to be part of the Swim Clinic Showdown at the OCBC Aquatic Centre on Saturday evening for a fun-filled relay competition. Eight Stamford students were chosen to swim with the three Olympians and came in 2nd place overall to win a Silver medal. Olympic medallist and world record swimmer Jessica Hardy said, "I think it was a great experience. We love being able to share and motivate kids and I hope they had a good time. They may not always remember all the details we taught them, but the joy and the laughs we share are priceless; I hope they enjoyed it."

In addition to the energy-filled relay, Stamford’s top male (Adam McMahon, Grade 9) and top female (Caitlyn Duong, Grade 9) swimmers raced with Hardy and Adrian against other local and international schools in Singapore, placing 4th overall.

As part of the Global Mentor Program, Stamford has also welcomed South African swimmer, Roland Schoeman, and Gerhard Zandberg also of South Africa to bring insight and experience to the successful swim program and overall athletics program at the school. With state-of-the-art sports facilities, Stamford looks for every opportunity to give students exposure to global leaders and mentors from around the world.
