40m sprint
This short-distance run is specially designed for younger kids. The goal is simple: run as fast as you can for 40 meters! It is all about having fun, moving your body and feeling the excitement of the race.
Kids Only
Palam Porukkal
In this game, kids have to grab balls and place them in a basket as quickly as possible. Once all the balls are in, it is a sprint to the finish line! This mix of speed, coordination and excitement is perfect for younger children.
Kids only
Tennis ball Throw
In this discipline, kids throw a tennis ball as far as they can. This activity is a great way to improve coordination and body control while having fun.
Age 7 to 15
60m Sprint
The 60-meter sprint is a true test of quickness and reaction time. Open to all children between 7 and 15 years old, this race is all about who can reach the finish line the fastest.
Age 7 to 15
Long jump
Our long jump features a flexible 80cm take-off zone instead of a fixed board, making it easier, safer, and more fun for young athletes to enjoy and improve.
Age 7 to 15
200g Ball Throw
In this event, kids throw a 200-gram ball as far as they can. It’s a fun way to build strength, improve coordination, and learn proper throwing technique.

Joining this swim club has been a fantastic experience! We work hard, but we also know how to have fun together. Coach Jenna inspires us to do our best and celebrate our achievements!
