COMcurrentSwim
[in support of The Singapore Cross-English
Channel Charity Swim]

Sometime between 11 to 18 August 2005, a Singaporean will be attempting to swim solo across the English Channel.

He is 25-year old Thum Ping Tjing, a true blue ACSian and Rhodes Scholar who has represented Singapore in swimming at every level up to and including the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

When PJ (as Ping Tjing is popularly known in swimming circles) takes the plunge for the 34-kilometre swim, old boys and girls and students from the 15 Methodist schools will be swimming concurrently with him at the Farrer Park Swimming Centre. This COMcurrentSwim event has been organised to raise funds for the Methodist Schools' Foundation (MSF) and Action for Aids Singapore.
