Dear Swimmers

If you competed in a swim meet during the half term holidays which was approved by TASA, please could you send a copy of your official results – thos could be a Meet Mobile screen shot, certificate or a copy of the results page to myself either at victoria.g2@shrewsbury.ac.th or to the Sports and Activities office to enable your results to be updated and used in future swim meets. 

If it is not clear on the results please could you indicate whether the pool was long course (50m) or short course (25m), where the meet was and when it was held. 

Best Wishes

Mrs Gill  

Thank you to all swimmers who have informed myself of their absence tonight, please see below an updated program. We have also adjusted the event order to ensure those swimmers who need to first attend orchestra do not miss the important FOBISIA 50m events.

If there are any other swimmers who missed the 100IM last time and would like to swim this event tonight, we can add you to the program on poolside.

The program should be available on Meet Mobile. 

Good Luck to all swimmers

Mrs Gill

On Monday 25th February Shrewsbury International School will be hosting Olympic Swimmer James Goddard in a stroke clinic for senior swimmers, following this session he will be hosting a parent and swimmer talk open to every member of our swimming community. 

The talk will take place in the Memorial Hall starting at 4pm promptly, following the talk there will be an opportunity for photos and to wear James’s Medals.

 

James is one of the best swimmers the U.K. has ever produced, reaching finals at Olympic, World, Commonwealth and European level. He represented Great Britain at three Olympic Games (Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012), finishing 4th in the 200m backstroke final in Athens. He knows exactly what it takes to make it to the top of professional and elite sport!

James trained as a full-time professional for 12 years alongside some of the best swimmers and coaches in the world. He has a vast knowledge of stroke technique and the work ethic and mental approach required at training and in competition to become an elite performer.

James started swimming at the age of five and finished competing professionally at the age of 30. He relates well to swimmers of different ages and varying abilities having mixed with all types of people during his swimming life. Having recently retired, James is keen to pass on what he knows to others and make swimming rewarding for everyone.
