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.
