Senior BISAC 13 yrs + hosted by Bangkok Patana

For the first time at BISAC Swimming this year for the 50m events swimmers were able to compete in heats and finals with the fastest 8 swimmers qualifying for the finals. 

Shrewsbury entered the largest ever senior BISAC swim team to date and for the first time were able to have a relay team in every event. 

It was a very hot day and as a National Qualifying meet the refereeing was extremely strict and lead to some unfortunate disqualifications. 

Congratulations to the following swimmers who made the finals of their events:

Win L – 15 + Yrs 50 Backstroke

Genis M 13 -14 Yrs 50 Breaststroke

Nick O – 13-14 Yrs 50 Breaststroke

Amm R – 13-14 Yrs 50 Freestyle 

Matthew W 15+ Yrs 50 Freestyle

It was wonderful to see so many seniors at their first ever swim meet, not only their first BISAC but their first ever meet. The contribution provided by these swimmers and the motivation to others in the team can not be emphasised enough. A huge thank you goes out to these swimmers. 

Congratulations to the following swimmers who won medals at the event:

BISAC Swim Festival 7-8 Years Hosted by Shrewsbury International School – City Campus

Continuing the development of the BISAC swimming program to a competitive format which is more appropriate for the development of our swimmers, saw the introduction of the 7-8 Years BISAC Swim Festival.  Swimmers competed over 25m in all four strokes. With the focus on swimmer participation and development there were no medals, awards or trophies.

This was our first meet where Shrewsbury raced as a combined team of Riverside and City Campus; Shrewsbury fielded 50 swimmers.   It was also the first competitive event hosted at City Campus and was a huge success.
