IMPORTANT PLEASE READ.
-;
THERE WILL BE NO TRAININGS ON TUESDAY AND THURSDAY FOR THIS WEEK.
Water PT on Wednesday (28/3/2012)
There will be WATER PT this Wednesday so I need you guys to bring along your slippers/swimming costumes/bathing equipment/goggles. Assemble outside the ODAC store by 1530.
Windsurfing
I need you guys to (J1s + J2s) to return me the two forms for windsurfing by WEDNESDAY. You are also required to pass up $18.80 for the PA membership and another $55 for the windsurfing. You can pass the cash to Zhi Hong at 1715 tmr outside the ODAC store. If YOU do not have the forms (ESPECIALLY J1s), you can look for JieKang in the canteen from 1500 to 1600 TMR to get the forms. Failure to do so would mean that you WILL NOT get to windsurf as I have to settle everything by Wednesday.
Weak swimmers/Swimmers without official certification
All ODACians are to photocopy their swimming certifications (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Gold*/Lifeguard etc.) and hand it up to Zhi Hong by TMR 1715 outside the ODAC store. Without official certification, ODACians are not allowed to windsurf/kayak. Hence we have also hired an external vendor who will certify you guys on your swimming abilities if they do not have a proper certificate. However they will have to pay $16 for the test and certificate to enable them to windsurf/kayak.
Do take note that the windsurfing and certification is not compulsory but we strongly encourage you guys to go for it. However if you wish not to go for the certification, you can still windsurf on your own or as a group but not with ODAC as we cannot afford to compromise your safety.
Please inform your fellow ODACians to check out this post!
Have a good day! :D

History
NY ODAC was established in 1978 and was formerly known as OAC. The motto of OAC was
"The experience is YOURS".
During that time, OAC focused more on discipline and was more regimental as compared to the current ODAC. Mrs Koh was the teacher-in-charge then.
Furthermore, 4 marine groups, namely Blue Whale, Dolphin, Marlin and Stingray were initiated in the early years of OAC.
In 2003, Mr Thaddeus Lawrence took over the 1st ODAC. The 1st ODAC is also known as the 25th OAC and has a strength of about 20.
Mr Lawrence took part in the Sahara Desert Run in July 2009.
The motto of ODAC is
"Challenge your limits". As an odacian,we strive to explore and push our limits, be it physically or mentally, especially when participating in outdoors activities.
In addition, all odacians adhere to the following 8 qualities:
