Yes, exempt him from NS.
No, he must come back to serve before the next Olympics.
No, he must come back to serve — after he's done with swimming.
Exempt all national Sportmen from NS. They are still doing national service by training hard and representing Singapore in sports.
Modify his NS stint such that he is given time to train as well
Other form of national service
Wrong to exempt.
Make him go through the voluntary army thing instead of the full NS
Do BMT, then focus on sports at SAFSA
His NS designation: the National Swimmer
Enlist but with special dispensation
Sporting excellence beyond a certain level can be regarded as NS.
Allow him to serve in other ways, in shorter courses or what not but no exemption.
No
Can become swimming instructor PTI
None of above options makes sense
