Oliver Phommavanh Visiting Shrewsbury International School Bangkok Riverside Campus this November 29th 2018.

60 swimmers traveled to ISB this weekend to compete in the annual ISB SwimFest. The meet this year took a team focus with age group team awards. Swimmers were each able to compete in a maximum of 4 events and 2 relays. 166 new personal best times were recorded from 209 individual swims – this is staggering 79% personal best improvement rate. Congratulations to all swimmers.

As your personal best becomes faster the amount you improve by decreases, and at some swim meets you may not always see an improvement – when this happens it is important to how close you are swimming to your personal best. Seniors may often only improve by 0.01 seconds and this is a fabulous achievement, to see so many seniors improving by over 4 seconds over 100m is a reflection of the hard work they have been putting into their training.

Please see below for the team results, these are superb given the numbers of swimmers we had in each age group – just 4 swimmers (only 2 swimming on Sunday due to the Geography field trip) in 15+ boys came an amazing 5th place. Our 11-12 girls and boys team looks incredibly strong with them placing 5th and 4th respectively. For the team as whole to come 7th against many larger schools is a reflection on just how hard every single swimmer is working during training. We are incredibly proud of your achievements.
