Dear Swimmers and Parents

Happy New Year, I hope you had a wonderful restful holiday and are now ready to train hard in preparation for BISAC.

It was great to see so many of you at the training session last night and 10 people enjoying the first morning swim of the year. The swimming excellence program starts with full effect from tonight.

All swimmers are required to wear a swim hat and have a water bottle available on poolside at every training session.

To prepare for BISAC, there are a number of upcoming Thailand Swimming Association (TASA) swim meets Shrewsbury swim team would like to attend. Should you wish to attend any TASA swim meet you will need to be registered with TASA as part of Shrewsbury International School. Please register yourself here: TASA Swimmer Registration, search for Shrewsbury International School as the swimming club, you will require your ID or passport number to register.

The following swimmers are already registered and therefore will not need to register a second time:

Ben

Adit

Bobby

Matthew P

Further details of the swim meets Shrewsbury will be attending will be available here over the next fortnight.

If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact me in the Sports and Activities Office.
