1) Men and Women’s Open and Under-15
2) 250m and 500m distances
3) K1/K2/K4 (kayaking), C1/C2 (the kneeling type)
Below are some photos that I took. The highlights were the newly introduced K4 event – an Olympic event. Later if I can find the time, I will upload the videos.
An interesting bit of news. The Singapore Canoeing Federation president announced that Singapore will be hosting the World Kayaking Marathon in 2010 at the Marina Reservoir. Meantime, they will be stepping up the number of events locally. So the next few years will be quite exciting for the young kayakers. If you are in lower secondary, or have kids in lower secondary or even primary school, now is a good time to join in.
For those in primary school, the 4 secondary schools with active kayaking programme (that I can recall) are ACS (Independent), St Josephs, Hwa Chong, and Balestier Hill. Sorry, did not pay attention to the girls schools.

Chun See. I notice that you are fond of putting up photos of female kayakers in action:)
Not really wat. Only 4 out of 13 is less than one-third. But I must admit I see beauty in the intense concentration on their faces and straining of muscles. More so than those so-called beauties in beauty contests.
