SINGAPORE - His two children love swimming, so real estate agent Ong Chin Hwee saw Safra's annual charity swim as a good opportunity to bond as a family and also contribute to a good cause.
More than 229,000 laps were swum in this year's Safra Swim for Hope held from Thursday to Sunday, breaking 2017's record of around 210,000. Her elder sister Min Yi, 13, took part in the open category after previously having joined the junior category for those aged six to 12 last year. She said she swam 229 laps this year.
The funds raised will go to helping persons with special needs and needy SAF servicemen through the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore, Down Syndrome Association and the SAF Care Fund.
