Dear Parents and Swimmers
I wanted to make contact with you all as a number of swimmers and parents have reached out to me with enquiries regarding the BISAC swimming scheduled for next weekend (14th & 15th March).
The safety of all swimmers within the Shrewsbury community will always be our first priority and with this in mind Shrewsbury International School are closely monitoring and following all guidance from the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health and other government agencies.
A decision has already been made by BISAC to postpone the following events:
- Junior (9yrs – 12ys) BISAC swimming (hosted by NIST) has been postponed until Saturday May 9th
- BISAC Swim Festival (7 – 8Yrs) hosted by Shrewsbury International School City Campus has been postponed until Saturday May 16th
A decision regarding Senior (13 years+) BISAC Swimming (Hosted by Ruamrudee) will be made on Monday 9th March, at this point, if the decision is made to go ahead with the swim meet, I will contact all swimmers for their entries on Monday 9th March.
Senior swimmers may enter a maximum of five events (including relays) and teams may enter a maximum of four swimmers per individual event. Due to the increased number of swimmers able to swim per event for seniors, we are in the lucky position that we do not need to go through a selection process. Swimmers are able to pick the events they feel are their strengths or favourites.
Full event details are available on the swimming blog, please click here and have a look this weekend and consider what may be your chosen events.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Best Wishes
Mrs Gill
Director of Aquatics
