Medals and Trophies will be sent to the school after the half term break, those swimmers who have received a medal or award will be contacted when they are available to collect. 

 

In another rain and storm affected swim meet at Bangkok Patana swimmers competed over 50 and 100m at the Sprint Challenge Swim Meet. For our more seniors swimmers the opportunity to race short course is always fun.

There were plenty of personal bests achieved, in a very positive start to the season. As swimmers become faster their improvements become smaller, even though they are a smaller improvement their attainment is far harder. At this level we look at the percentage improvement rather than the reduction in total time.  

Congratulations to our top 3 % percentage improvement swimmers: 

Petter total 70.73% improvement

Monty 61.04% improvement

Kari 33.91% improvement

Full meet results are available on the results page here

This was a team event and there were no medals of trophies.

Congratulations to all swimmers.
