4 Annual Report 2 3 LEE KOK CHOY president s report executive committee The year has been exciting and eventful for Singapore Aquatics. First of all, Singapore Swimming Association (SSA) moved from our longtime office in Toa Payoh to our new home in the OCBC Aquatic Centre at the Singapore Sports Hub. This brand new world class indoor facility became the primary training centre of the national teams four disciplines: Swimming, Water Polo, Diving and Synchronised Swimming, supported by the Advanced Sports Science and Sports Medicine Resources of the Singapore Sports Institute. Here, we will host both major local competitions as well as marquee international competitions, including the 2nd TYR SEA Swimming Championships, FINA World Cup and FINA Diving Grand Prix. The focus of our Executive Committee (Exco) this year has been to create a sustainable future for Singapore aquatics by organising our Secretariat and Coaching staff to enable the development of each of the four aquatic disciplines and to bring our high performance capability to a new level. The immediate target was to have a strong showing in the 28th SEA Games 2015 in Singapore and the longer term strategy covers a roadmap towards the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Notable in our staffing is the recruitment of a world class swimming Head Coach - Sergio Lopez. To give a voice to important stakeholder groups, we have formed an Athletes Commission and a Parents Advisory Committee. Also, we have partnered with Sport Singapore to maximise the use of their pools for Singapore Swimming Association (SSA) affiliates who do not have their own pools to train in for national level competitions. We have done well in major competitions in, most significant among these achievements would be Joseph Schooling s Silver medal in the 100m Butterfly in the Commonwealth Games. This is the first ever Singapore swimming medal in our Commonwealth Games history. Moving on into 2015, we look forward to an exciting 28th SEA Games 2015 and also to hosting the 5th FINA World Junior Swimming Championships. We will work to increase collaboration with all our affiliates, to develop aquatic sports in Singapore. Finally, I would like to thank Sport Singapore, the Singapore National Olympic Council, athletes, coaches, volunteers, sponsors and all our supporters for your dedicated contributions towards our common goals and for swimming with us.

The future of Singapore Swimming looks bright and we are anticipating excellent results in our upcoming meets. swimming swimming Joscelin Yeo Vice-president s REPORT was a very successful year for Singapore Swimming. Singapore Swimming participated in 3 major events in the year the Youth Olympic Games, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games. Joseph Schooling won the first Commonwealth Games swimming medal, when he took home the Silver medal in the Men s 100m Butterfly. The Asian Games results were excellent where Joseph won medals in all 3 of the Butterfly events - Bronze in the 200m Butterfly, Silver in the 50m Butterfly and Gold in the 100m Butterfly. Tao Li was our other medallist of the Games, winning a Silver in the 50m Butterfly and Bronze in the 100m Butterfly. The younger age group swimmers had excellent results as well. The team that participated in the 38th Southeast Asian Age Group Swimming Championships successfully defended the Overall Champion title with 44 Gold medals; 15 Gold medals more than in was also the year where the Singapore Swimming Association moved to the newly constructed OCBC Aquatic Centre at the Singapore Sports Hub. We hosted numerous events, including the TYR 2nd Southeast Asian Swimming Championships as well as the FINA World Cup (Singapore) here in the new home of Singapore Swimming for the first time. Besides all the great results in the pool, there were also many steps forward in the work behind the scenes. With the departure of Ian Turner due to his health condition, Singapore Swimming appointed Sergio Lopez, an Olympic medallist at the 1998 Games in the 200m Breaststroke, as the head coach. Sergio has also coached many Olympic swimmers including Ryan Murphy and our very own Joseph Schooling during his time at Bolles School. We look forward to working with him and expect our swimmers to achieve new heights in the coming years. At the same time, Singapore Swimming has also set up a High Performance Coaches Target Meet 17th Asian Games Incheon, South Korea September Joseph Schooling became the Republic s first male swimmer in 32 years to strike Gold at the Asiad. He did so by clocking a Games record of seconds in the 100m Butterfly event. He also took Silver in the 50m Butterfly and Bronze in the 200m Butterfly event. Though Singapore s top women s Butterfly swimmer, Tao Li, did not manage to win a hat-trick of Gold medals in her pet 50m Butterfly event, she managed to clinch a Silver medal competing against a field of world class swimmers. She lost to China s Lu Ying by a close 0.45 seconds. Tao Li also won a Bronze in the 100m Butterfly event, and her successful exploits gives Singapore plenty of hope for more winning performances from the intrepid 24-year-old. The rest of the swimmers did not disappoint as well. They showed their mettle and tenacious spirit in the face of intense and world class competition. In the Men s 4x200m Freestyle relay, the quartet of Danny Yeo Kai Quan, Pang Sheng Jun, Teo Zhen Ren and Clement Lim swam to a new national record of 7:25:46, with Yeo clocking a personal best of 1:49:68.

14 Annual Report diving WILLIAM LEE Vice-president s REPORT to diver ratio of not more than 1:5 for both safety and effective instructions to take place. It requires a high amplitude of personal attention and feedback during training sessions. All top diving squads around the world use a ratio of between 1:2 to 1:4. Currently, our ratio is 1:8, which is not ideal and we will work to reduce that ratio in the years ahead to help our diving programme achieve its goals. We believe that diving is a sport that home grown Singaporeans can excel in and be competitive on the international stage. Given proper support and strategies, coupled with the newly completed OCBC Aquatic Centre and dry land facilities, it is not inconceivable for our divers to compete at the highest levels within 10 years. We are very excited for the future of diving in Singapore and we are grateful for all the support from Sport Singapore in helping us bring diving to the highest arenas in our sport. INTERNATIONAL competition 50th Malaysia National Age Group Championships Seremban, Malaysia April We sent a team of 11 divers to Seremban to compete against divers from Malaysia, Indonesia, Macau, Beijing and Uzbekistan, with the Singapore team bagging 4 Gold and 2 Silver medals.

Within 4 years from the re-birth, 6 of our divers took part in the SEA Games in Naypyidaw, and took home 2 Silvers and 2 Bronzes. These were the first SEA Games diving medals that Singapore had in 28 years. Our Synchronised male divers also achieved the top 10th position at the World Cup. We also held the 10th position at the recent YOG in Nanjing, for the 10M Men s Platform Event. We have made impressive strides in a very short time and will continue to aim for higher levels of excellence. Our National Diving Programme is supported by 4 local clubs (Ngee Ann Polytechnic, APSC, Torpedo Dive School and Aerotumblers). These clubs not only provide a pool of divers for Talent Identification, they also bring diving to the public, making it accessible for anyone who wants to learn to dive. As of the end of, we have 85 active divers supported by 15 coaches (3 HP coaches, 12 Learn-to-Dive coaches). We have developed a clear athlete s pathway for divers who wish to excel in our sport and our coaches are always on a look-out for divers who have the potential to excel. They visit the clubs periodically, hold open trials and attend all local competitions to talent scout. The identified divers are invited to join our National TID programme. And as the divers improve, they can move up to our National Development Squad, National Age Group Squad and National Open Squad sequentially. All our National programmes are conducted by our National High Performance Programme. Unlike many other sports, diving is a high physical risk sport and requires a high coach 50th malaysia national age group championships

In order to ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of the resources available to the Association, the financial statements of the Association are maintained such that the resources for various purposes are classified for accounting and reporting purposes that are in accordance with activities or objectives specified. 2.3 Changes in Accounting Policies The Association has not applied the new/revised accounting standards (including its consequential amendments) and interpretations that have been issued as of the date of the financial statements but are not yet effective. The initial application of these standards and interpretations is not expected to have any material impact on the Association s financial statements. 2.4 New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Effective The Association has not applied the new/revised accounting standards (including its consequential amendments) and interpretations that have been issued as of the date of the statements of financial position but are not yet effective. The initial application of these standards and interpretations is not expected to have any material impact on the Association s financial statements. The Association has not considered the impact of accounting standards issued after the date of the statements of financial position. 2.5 Revenue Recognition Subscriptions, coaching and training fee, and advertising income is recognized on accrual basis when due and payable. Tournament, seminar and workshop fee is recognized when the event takes place. Income from SportSG grants, sponsorship and contribution is recognized upon receipt. Subsidies from government that compensate the Association for expenses incurred are recognized as revenue in the income statement on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. The accompanying notes form part of the financial statements.

25 Financial Statements Year ended 31 March 2015 Financial Statements Year ended 31 March Property, plant and equipment and Depreciation All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Association and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on the straight line method to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows: Number of years Office equipment 5 Furniture and fittings 5 Sports equipment 5 The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use and no further charge for depreciation is made in respect of these assets. 2.7 Foreign Currencies Items included in the financial statements of the Association are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity. The functional currency of the Association is the Singapore Dollar. The financial statements of the Association are presented in Singapore Dollar. Foreign currency transactions are translated into Singapore Dollar at rates of exchange approximating those ruling at transaction dates. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the year-end. The resulting profits and losses on exchange are dealt with through the profit and loss account. Balances in notes are in functional currency unless otherwise stated. 2.8 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and bank balances that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 2.9 Employee Benefit The Association makes contribution to the Central Provision Fund scheme in Singapore such contribution are recognised as an expenses in the period on which the related service is performed Related Party A related party is defined as follows: (a) A person or a close member of that person s family is related to the Association if that person: (b) (i) Has control or joint control over the Association; (ii) Has significant influence over the Association; or (iii) Is a member of the key management personnel of the Association or of a parent of the Association. An entity is related to the Association if any of the following conditions applies: (i) The entity and the Association members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others). (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member). (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party. (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity. (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Association or an entity related to the Association. If the Association is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the Association; (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); (vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity) SportSG Grant For Assets SportSG grant for assets is recognised as deferred income upon receipt and recognised as income over the useful life of the related assets Impairment The carrying amounts of the Association s assets are reviewed at year-end to determine if there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. All impairment losses are recognised in the profit and loss account. An impairment loss is only reversed to the extent that the asset s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, if no impairment loss had been recognised Financial Instruments Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables. They are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. A financial instrument is recognised if the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Association s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Association transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, ie the date the Association commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Association s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled Financial Assets i) Classification The Association classifies its financial assets according to the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date. The Association s only financial assets are loans and receivables. ii) Loans and receivables Loan and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except those maturing later than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables excluding prepayments are presented as trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances on the balance sheet. Recognition and derecognition Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date - the date on which the Association commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Association has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. On disposal of a financial asset, the difference between the net sale proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. Any amount in the fair value reserve relating to that asset is also transferred to profit or loss.

26 Financial Statements Year ended 31 March 2015 Financial Statements Year ended 31 March Significant Accounting Policies 3 Property, plant and equipment 2.14 Financial Assets (cont d) iii) iv) Initial measurement Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which are recognised at fair value. Transaction costs for financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are recognised as expenses. Subsequent measurement Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest income on financial assets are recognised separately in profit or loss Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities include trade payables, other amounts payable and interest-bearing loans. Financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when, only when, the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value of consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method Leases Finance leases Leases of assets in which the Association assumes substantially the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Property, plant and equipment acquired through finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss. Operating leases Lessee Leases where significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are taken to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place. Lessor Leases where the Association retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Association has a present obligation (legal or constructive) where, as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation. computer Furniture, Sports Total and Office fittings and equipment equipment renovation $ $ $ $ Cost: At 1 April , ,921 1,109,514 1,485,064 Additions 27,406 27,406 At 31 March and 1 April 200, ,921 1,136,920 1,512,470 Additions 46,540 79, ,352 At 31 March , ,461 1,216,732 1,638,822 Accumulated Depreciation: At 1 April , ,906 1,023,089 1,359,185 Charge for the financial year 9,746 7,677 56,116 73,539 At 31 March and 1 April 194, ,583 1,079,205 1,432,724 Charge for the financial year 4,371 7,677 54,176 66,224 At 31 March , ,260 1,133,381 1,498,948 Net Book Value: Balance at 31 March ,322 55,201 83, ,874 Balance at 31 March 5,693 16,338 57,715 79,746 4 Trade and Other Receivables 2015 $ $ Grants receivable 326, ,000 Sundry debtors 128, ,125 Deposits 59,767 48,194 GST receivable 83 9, , ,375 The average credit period generally granted to trade receivable customers is about 30 days (: 120 days).

28 Financial Statements Year ended 31 March 2015 Financial Statements Year ended 31 March Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The main risks arising from Association s financial instruments are liquidity risk,credit risk and foreign currency risk. The policies for managing each of these risks are summarised as follows: Liquidity risk The Association s financing activities are managed by maintaining an adequate level of cash and cash equivalents to finance the Association s operations. Funds from SportSG ensure continuity of funding. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment The cost of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these property, plant and equipment to be within 5 years. The carrying amount of the Association s property, plant and equipment as at year end are stated in Note 3. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets. Therefore future depreciation charges could be revised and impact the profit in future years Trade and Trade and other other payables payables $ $ 16 Capital Commitment The Association entered into contract with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited as the exclusive partner of the Association in the category of financial services and to sponsor of about S$100,000 per year from 1 March 2015 to 28 February < 12 months 1,150, , years 48, years 48,000 > 5 years 1,198, ,935 Credit risk Credit risk arises mainly from the risk on counterparties defaulting on the terms of their agreements. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and debtors represent the Association s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. The Association monitors the exposure to credit risk on an ongoing basis and credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Cash terms or advance payments are required for customers of lower credit standing. The credit risk on balances of cash and cash equivalents is low as these balances are placed with a reputable bank. Foreign currency risk The Association incurs certain operating costs in foreign currencies which give rise to foreign exchange risk. The Associations s exposure to foreign currencies are primarily managed by natural hedges of matching assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. 14 Fair Values of Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash at bank, and amounts receivable and payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. 15 Accounting Estimates and Judgement in Applying Accounting Policies The Association makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Key source of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
