6 Shrewsbury Senior swimmers (Rena, Alex W, Matthew W, Peem, Win and Bobby) travelled to UWC SEA East Singapore to compete in the 2nd Dragons Den Invitational Swim Meet from 22nd – 24th April 2016.
The meet was an outstanding success for all swimmers who had an amazing opportunity to swim against a number of top level swimmers from across Asia many of whom attend schools with over 2000 students.
For some swimmers this was both their first international meet and first senior meet, learning coping strategies for adapting to new sleeping routines and eating habits is one of the major learning experiences from international meets. Changes in sleep and eating routines can greatly affect your performance, this did not appear to be the case for our swimmers – every Shrewsbury swimmer recorded at least one personal best time with Bobby making all four of his possible finals and achieving 2nd Place in the U12 Boys 50m Backstroke and 1st Place in the U12 Boys 50m Freestyle. Win achieved 3rd place in the 13 -14 yrs Boys 400m freestyle. Congratulations to all swimmers, we are extremely proud of each and everyone of you.

All swimmers have returned highly motivated to train to the best of their abilities ready to improve on their performances at the meet next year. This meet is open to all senior school swimmers who achieve the qualifying times and we look forward to attending this meet next year with a bigger squad.
Congratulations to the team.
