Last weekend was a such memorable weekend for Tariq.
We travelled to Singapore for Tariq's very first Singapore Swimming Club Invitational Midget Meet.
It is called Midget Meet😄 because this competition is meant for kids 9 years old and below.
There were 3 countries participating - Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines.
Tariq together with his Abang Zidane who is a 9 year old, registered for both backstroke and freestyle events.
And during this exciting weekend, Tariq swam his hardest and..
He received his very first Silver Bracelet for his 2nd place in the Backstroke 25meter Event Heat 1 for 6 years old and under!!😍🌟🌟
And the Gold Bracelet recipient was just one second faster than Tariq!
On top of that, Tariq broke his own personal best time record for both the events he was competing in.
His previous best time backstroke 25meter was 1min 10 seconds.
And his new personal best time for 25m Backstroke is now down to 47.81 seconds!
Tariq was literally 22.19 seconds faster!
MashaAllah!!😍😍
We were jumping up and down so happy when we saw his new timing.
It was so unbelievable, alhamdulillah!!
And for freestyle, his previous best was 1 min and his unofficial time
was about 44 seconds. We are still waiting for the official time from
the organizer.
(Update at 1.25pm, we just received an email from
organizer. ****Tariq's official time for his 25m Freestyle is 39.74
seconds!! A 20.26 seconds faster than his previous best record. We are
beyond happy, alhamdulillah!!)😍🌟🌟🌟
Abang Zidane also received a Silver Bracelet for his Freestyle 25m for 9 year old, mashaAllah!
Well done Tariq and Zidane!! 😘🌟👏🏻💪🏻💖😍
You both make us all so so proud.🌟🌟🌟
As Tariq's parents, me and his Baba are very clear on our goal.
Winning medals is an awesome result. No doubt.
But the most important thing for us actually is the training of
discipline, focus, dedication, confidence, determination, continuous
improvement and persistency that Tariq receives before his medal.
Now, that is Tariq's actual prize! 😘😘😘
So swim on our little champion! We give you an A+ for your effort! Bravo!! 💪🏻🌟😘💖🌟🌟🌟
