IBSC leveled up to second position in 10th SICC Invitational Swimming Championship

Last year, Team IBSC participated in the 9th SICC Invitational meet at Singapore Island Country Club with only 19 swimmers and got third position overall. The small team has enjoyed the trip very much and that has drummed up some interest this year as IBSC sent a total of 32 swimmers to the 10th SICC Invitational meet across the causeway.

With strong challenge, Team IBSC managed to level up its position to second place this year after the Philippines Swim League, followed by the host, SICC in the third position.

Many of our swimmers joining the trip were fairly young. The meet gave them a great experience and a chance to make new friends from the neighbouring countries.

The meet started with a march past by all the participating teams and Team IBSC was led by Desmond Ng. Other teams were the Philippines Swim League, Stingray Swimming Club, Royal Selangor Golf Club, Penang Swimming Club, Sonic Swim Club, St. Claire Montessori School and the host, SICC.

Steve Khiew was sponsored by his school to SICC meet
Team IBSC has done fairly well by accumulating 18 gold, 22 silver and 25 bronze in the individual and relay events.

The top performer of IBSC is non other than Steve Khiew who had made a clean sweep of all 9 gold in the individual events he participated and in the process made a few PBs for himself. Steve was crowned the Overall Champion in the 11-12 years boys category.

The best girl performer of IBSC was Chloe Ng, who managed to pull in 1 gold, 1 silver and 4 bronze in the 11-12 girls category. She also won another gold in the Mixed relay event together with team mates Howard Sim, Fatin Natsha and Iqmal Muqhis.

The swimmers had a fun time at the resort like pool even though soaked under the sun and the parents' support was really awesome. Some parents braved the Raya traffic to drive down to Singapore to watch the meet and support their swimming kids.

Bravo to Team IBSC!

Team IBSC has yet achieved another milestone in SICC meet and hopefully we will see further improvement next year.

We also would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents, Mrs Yap, Mrs Christine Tan, Mrs Law for contributing room, snacks and food to the swimmers. The accompany coach, Coach Kamaruddin has also done a great job in making sure the swimmers are taken care of, in and out of the competition.

Also thumbs-up to the accompanying parents for rendering such superb support to the team and sharing tons of good photos.

Lastly, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to the host, SICC, for graciously hosting the 10th SICC meet with great hospitality. We shall meet again next year.
