SINGAPORE: Not allowing Joseph Schooling time off to train while in National Service will have serious repercussions on the Olympic champion's career, said former national swimmers whom CNA spoke to.
In an interview with CNA in April, Schooling said his training schedule allowed him time in the pool twice a day - before he books into camp, and after he books out. He would also train on Saturdays. Ex-national swimmer Tao Li also pointed out that each and every session counts. Should Schooling only be able to train on weekends, it would not be enough, she noted.
The 32-year-old Tao, who remains Singapore's only female swimmer to qualify for an Olympic final, said different training sessions serve different purposes.
In life, there are consequences.
