Calling all PARENTS of our SG athlete members!

Singapore Swimming Association is organising a Parents Forum around the topic "Thriving or fading in youth sport: understanding burnout in young swimmers and how to prevent it." and has kindly shared this event with all our Singapore Gymnastics athlete parents too. While the focus of this forum will be targeted at swimming, the topic is generic enough for parents to adapt for their own scenario.
