BISP Swimmers Reign Supreme at Thai National Swimming Championships

After a season with pandemic restrictions cancelling most planned swim meets, March brought our swimmers back into the pool to compete in the first dual meets of the year.  On March 19 the BISP Sea Eagles competed against UWCT and on March 26 against Headstart. It was fantastic to see competitive swimming resume at BISP and we are very proud of the way our team has grown and developed despite dealing with COVID restrictions over the past 2 years. These meets seemed to be just what our swimmers needed to get back into competitive swimming.

During the April break, some of our swimmers took part in the Thai National Swimming Championships and Thailand National Age Group Championships which took place at Assumption University Bangkok and did a fantastic job competing. During the meets, BISP competed with a national champion and several top 15 finishes as well as setting several new school record times. BISP continues to produce top national level swimmers and is proud to be home to the BISP Sea Eagles swimmers. 

A notable congratulations to BISP student swimmers Anton, Zac, Nara, and Jaidee. Below are their results from the  Thai National Swimming Championships and Thailand National Age Group Championships meets:
