High-performing swimmers, including those who are not studying in SSP, can gain access to quality training by NTC coaches, sport science support by NYSI, and boarding facilities within the campus, to enhance their development towards their sporting goals.
Athletes can apply to the NTC at SSP via three pathways, namely the Major Games pathway, the Performance pathway, and the Singapore Sports School (SSP) pathway. Athletes on the first two pathways need not be studying in the Sports School. More details can be found in the table below.
