Singapore’s best international swimmer, Joseph Schooling is too old to compete at the Junior World Championships hosted by his nation next week, but he will be in attendance as the country’s local ambassador.
The Singapore Swimming Federation announced Schooling’s presence on its website this week. Schooling lives, trains and attends school in the United States, but is now into his off-season after a summer that saw him smash 9 different national records between the Southeast Asia Games and the World Championships.
Schooling, the nation’s best-known swimming star at just 20 years old, will be participating in a series of meet & greet and autograph sessions during the Junior World Championships. Each afternoon between Tuesday, August 25th and Saturday, August 29th, Schooling will be available for a meet & greet session – each session is limited to 250 fans. You can learn more about how to get in on that action by following this link to the Singapore Swimming website.
Schooling went 9-for-9 in gold medals at the Southeast Asia Games earlier this year, another event held at the Singapore swimming complex that will host the Junior World Championships. He would go on to win a bronze medal in the 100 fly at the World Championships in Kazan, Russia, breaking 51 seconds and winning Singapore’s first long course FINA World Championships medal.
This summer alone, Schooling set Singaporean records in the 50, 100 and 200 frees, the 50, 100 and 200 flys, and the 4×100 free, 4×200 free and 4×100 medley relays.
