SMU Aquatic Sharks
ABOUT US
SMU Aquatic Sharks is an aquatic sports club that houses both swimming and water polo.
We aim to create a holistic environment that caters to students of all skill levels, with the goal of motivating members to be stronger athletes whilst enjoying themselves. Members are given the opportunity to represent SMU at tertiary competitions such as the Singapore University Games (SUniG), and Institute-Varsity-Polytechnic (IVP) Games. Swim trainings are held twice a week, while Polo trainings take place once a week. The trainings, post-training team dinners, and competitions aim to foster greater camaraderie amongst members while providing memorable experiences.
