39 swimmers competed at the 2018 FOBISIA Swimming Championships hosted at Bangkok Patana over the weekend. This was the biggest hosting to date with over 600 swimmers from 24 FOBISIA schools from across the region including: India, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Brunei. Shrewsbury finished an outstanding 6th place with 1286 points, this is even more phenomenal given that all senior swimmers returned from their residential week the day before the meet started.
Shrewsbury were able to enter a maximum of 3 swimmers per event with individual swimmers able to compete in a maximum of 6 events and 2 relays.
The FOBISIA swim meet closely replicates a national level meet with events including 400 IM, 400 & 200m Freestyle, 200m Backstroke and Breaststroke – events which are not normally available during international school meets.
