Dear Parents and Swimmers
The BISAC Swimming Championships will this year be hosted by Harrow International School; BISAC Juniors will be hosted on Saturday March 28th and Seniors on Sunday March 29th 2015.
The the following changes will take effect for the 2015 Championships:
- There will be NO 400m event for the seniors
- There will be NO senior Friday night events
- Juniors are permitted to swim a maximum of 4 individual events and 2 Relays
- Seniors are permitted to swim a maximum of 6 individual events and 2 Relays
- Maximum of 3 swimmers per individual event
- Only 1 relay team per relay event
Swimmers have taken part in numerous meets and time trials over the recent few months (FOBISIA, FOBISIA Trials, SAS dual meet, ISB meet), I am extremely conscious of the pressures and demands on your time and to this end there will be NO time trial selections. Selection will be based upon times achieved since March 2014, (personal best times can be viewed from the Personal Best tab on the homepage) should you wish to record an improved time for a particular event, an opportunity will be available during Saturday morning training this week (7th Feb) 7.30 – 9am.
