At ASJ, G8 student Deng began training for synchronised swimming at the age of 9 and was awarded the National Level 2 Athlete title for synchronised swimming.
On 23 December 2023, the 2023 Guangdong Youth Synchronised Swimming Club Open Championships was held by Guangdong Swimming Association. Deng won the excellent results in this competition with three gold medals in U13-15 singles, pairs and group a la carte respectively. In the same year, Deng won the gold medal of Mixed Pair Group A in the 2023 Guangzhou Flower Swimming Championships, the bronze medal of Group A Collective in the 2023 Guangdong Flower Swimming Championships, the fourth place of Group A Prescribed Motion in the 2023 National U-Series Flower Swimming Competition, and the gold medals of Group A Pair and Collective in the Flower Swimming International Schools Competition in 2023.
Deng's relationship with synchronised swimming was both accidental and inevitable. She has always loved sports since she was a little girl. While working with her parents, Deng saw her sisters training in synchronised swimming and became interested in the world of synchronised swimming.
Synchronised swimming events not only require technique, but also test the athletes' physical ability. A set of collective movements lasts three and a half minutes, and a set of double movements lasts three minutes, which tests strength and speed, but also puts a very high demand on endurance. During the six years she has been in contact with synchronised swimming, Deng started with the most basic training items such as basic buoyancy, breath-holding, treading water, etc., and trained 2-3 times a week, with high-intensity continuous training during summer and winter holidays.
In order to enhance her practical experience, Deng participates in large-scale competitions at the national and provincial levels 3-4 times a year, and gradually enhances her practical experience in the competitions. Years of hard training not only let her learn persistence and perseverance, but also learnt unity and cooperation. Collective in the project, follow the team movement neatly, dynamic and powerful, each action shows the combination of strength and aesthetics of the art of presentation.
Multi-disciplinary development
No limits to the path of growth
As an important part of the world's education, ASJ adheres to the "integration of sports and education", giving full play to the advantages of the 15-year education system, and focusing on the implementation of the "sports nursery" education concept.
"The first time I came to ASJ with my child, I was very excited to see the open space outside the school building full of students playing sports during recess. In the opinion of Deng's parents, a healthy body is the foundation for achieving academic goals and living one's dreams, and ASJ is committed to promoting experiential activities that allow students to enjoy the joys of sports and live an exciting life while pursuing academic success. This philosophy is highly consistent with the goals that children and families have for life and learning.

Synchronised swimming also requires a certain level of artistic expression from the athlete. ASJ's diverse selection of courses not only broadened Deng's horizons, but also provided her with a source of artistic inspiration. ASJ gave Deng the freedom to be curious about the world and to keep experimenting. Now, Deng has been studying at ASJ for more than a year, and she has actively participated in various activities both inside and outside of school, such as sports games, top ten singers, painting, and chorus. ...... Deng is not only shining in the water, but also growing into an independent, sunny, and positive student in her life.
At ASJ, we embrace the concept of whole-person education and provide opportunities for students to develop their potential and explore their learning preferences through a multicultural curriculum and a fun and enjoyable learning environment in addition to the academic subjects they are taught.
