Kati
Development 3
Kiran Singh
This month’s swimmer of the month goes to Kiran Singh. Even though Kiran was a late addition to our group, in just 2 months he is making his presence shown. At the 2007 Central Region Championship, Kiran went 46.83 and 1:53.58 in the 50 and 100 freestyle respectively. These two swims were some of our highest ranking performances at the swim meet and solidified his position as the fastest 100 freestyler in our group.
Kiran’s attitude in workout has also been exceptional. He never shies away from leading a lane and is always willing to push himself. Keep up the good work Kiran and we’ll be looking for big things in your future.
