Double Joy for Welson Sim

The teenager capped a delightful end to his campaign in the Singapore national age-group swimming championships at the OCBC Aquatic Centre on Sunday when he made the Olympic A time in the 200m and 400m freestyle.
The 1:47.67 and 3:50.33 he set in winning the 200m and 400m freestyle were also new national records.
 “My road to Rio has started and I will continue to work hard,” said Welson.
“The feeling is honestly unreal (on qualifying under category A). I trained day and night for many years to be able to swim with the world’s best.
“I’m thankful for all the guidance coach Paul (Birmingham) has given me and all the support from my family, team-mates and friends,” added Welson.
