We are excited to launch our weekly You Time Swim Coaches catch up session.

Starting this week (Thursday May 14th) and every following week, on Thursdays at 2.30pm, for swimmers in Year 4 – Year 6 who take part in You Time Swimming, or who are part of the swim team there will be an opportunity to catch up with the swim coaches through some interactive games hosted on Zoom.

Students may sign up to the Google Classrooms using this code https://classroom.google.com/g6agtab an invitation will also be sent by email shortly.

There will be an opportunity for those students in Y1-3 who are also part of the You Time swim program, starting next Tuesday (19th May) this will be through See-Saw, again invitations to join this group will be sent shortly.

We look forward to seeing you all in either your Tuesday or Thursday catch up sessions.

Dear Swimmers

How are you doing? We miss all of your smiley faces on poolside. While we are not able to be together as a team we will be posting weekly challenges for you to take part in if you would like to.

Join our Google Classroom using the code: dujusd2

Here is your first challenge: Design a new swim team logo upload your design into the google classroom.

We are also up dating the swim blog with many new ideas and activities for you to take part in please keep a look out here: https://blogs.shrewsbury.ac.th/swimming/virtual-training/

The swim coaches have also been busy keeping up their training:

” The greatest power you have right now is the power of choice. Choose to control the things you can control. Choose to do the things that will help you get better at training and racing and I promise you that when you get back in the water and into the gym, you’ll be the best you’ve ever been. ” Wayne Goldsmith

We hope to see you all in the pool very soon.

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
