Equally, as important to our swimmers as medals and podium places are their personal best (PBs) times in each event. This is due to the dedication and perseverance they dedicate to training several times a week making the 6:00am pool starts worth it. Plus, their competitive spirit on the day! Alongside the commitment, support and encouragement from our skilled swim coaches and of course their parents.

Our 10 and unders came out with 53 PB’s on Saturday morning, our 11 and overs 54 PBs on Saturday afternoon and an amazing 86 PBs for the entire team on the Sunday. In total they smashed it with 193 PBs.
And this resulted in 22 new BIS HCMC school records, including Kim Ly breaking two 9-year-old records and Richard, Quynh An and Miles breaking their own records!
"I’m incredibly proud of all of our swimmers. Their hard work, determination and competitive spirit in the pool was outstanding. However even more important was the team spirit, respect and care they showed towards each other, as well as to swimmers from other teams. This is true sportsmanship. Old friends were reacquainted, new friendships made and most of all the fun, laughter and smiles. Not to mention our swim coaches and phenomenal BIS Barracudas parents who without their coaching and support this would not be possible. Even coaching volleyball and entertaining our swimmers whilst they waited for their next race!” Ms Sophie Roberts, Head of Aquatics
