Dear Parents and Swimmers
The You Time! enrollment window is currently open until 27th October the system then reopens again 6th – 13th November, due to the fact a number of You Time! swim sessions have missed due to storms and problems with the pool plant, my recommendation is that all swimmers currently within the You Time! swim program book for the same group they are currently swimming in. Any swimmers who have achieved all the outcomes to progress to the next stage will receive confirmation this week, in addition these will be posted on the swimming notice board on Thursday. Alterations to groups and days can be made online until 27th October the system then reopens again 6th – 13th November.
For any swimmers who would like to record 25m times in preparation for entry into swim team (the next entry will take place in block 3), the first time trial will take place on:
Wednesday November 1st – Year 5 & 6 registration here
Wednesday November 8th – Year 2,3 & 4 registration here
Any exceptional swimmers identified at these trials may be invited to join the team earlier.
The session will begin at 2.40pm and will be concluded by 4pm – all swimmers who have registered are to go to the canteen (Pre – Prep studio for Year 2) where they will be collected by the swim coaches and brought over to the time trials.
Swimmers will swim 25m of Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly – swimmers should only register for these trials if they are able to complete all four strokes.
For swimmers who are unable to swim 25m of all four competitive strokes and who wish to join the You Time! swimming program and did not complete an assessment in Term 4 2016/2017, please register for an assessment session – these can be booked in the You Time Office. Sessions will begin promptly please ensure you are dressed on poolside ready to swim (swimsuit, hat and goggles) in advance of your session booking. Each time slot can take a maximum of 3 people.
Swimmers in Year 2 should book directly into the Year 2 You Time! swimming program.
Any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Best Wishes

Dear Parents and Swimmers
Sadly there has not been enough interest in the Bangkok Swim League from the other Internationals Schools within Bangkok. Not to be put off, we hope to start the swim league early in 2018.
This Wednesday (18th October), we will host a surprise Trick or Treat Swim Meet – swimmers will not know of their teams, events or groupings until the meet. If you would like to register for this meet (registration is essential as we will be unable to enter swimmers on the day) please register through this link. The meet is open to all swimmers in Level 0 and above and registration will close at Midday on Wednesday. The meet will begin at 2.40pm and will be concluded by 4pm.
Will you get a trick or a treat???
Have a good weekend
Mrs Gill
