3rd SAQ SwimFaster Awards

The 3rd SwimFaster Awards returns on 4–5 September 2026 at the Singapore Sports School, continuing its role as Singapore Aquatics’ premier performance-based swimming assessment under the SwimSingapore presented by OCBC national framework.

Designed for swimmers who have progressed beyond fundamental swimming and water safety, the SwimFaster Awards provide a structured platform for participants to benchmark their speed, endurance and competitive readiness through timed assessments across multiple events. The programme encourages swimmers to set personal goals, achieve recognised performance standards and take the next step in their competitive swimming journey.

As part of the performance pathway within SwimSingapore presented by OCBC, SwimFaster bridges the gap between learn-to-swim programmes and competitive swimming, inspiring swimmers to continually improve while fostering resilience, discipline and a lifelong passion for the sport. The framework supports Singapore Aquatics’ vision of “Every Singaporean a Swimmer”, providing clear progression pathways from water confidence to high-performance swimming.

Building on the success of the previous editions, the 3rd SwimFaster Awards is expected to bring together swimmers from clubs, swim schools and academies across Singapore for two exciting days of personal bests, milestone achievements and the celebration of swimming excellence.
