SMU alumna Yip Pin Xiu, who took home the gold in the 50m backstroke S5 in the last Asean Para Games, will be swimming in only one event – the 50m freestyle S5 (S2-S5) – having recently returned to full-time training. “It has been four to five months training full-time, and I am excited to be racing again. I am not in tip-top condition right now, but we all aim to be tip-top by the time the world meet in Mexico come around,” said Ms Yip, who is taking part in the women's 50m and 100m freestyle and 50m and 100m backstroke in the World Para Swimming Championships from 29 September to 7 October. She added, “The Asean Games will be a great place for me to get back into motion.”
