The SportExcel Junior Swimming Circuit offered opportunities for the young learners to test themselves out in the water and recently Leg 1 of the circuit was organised by Malacca Amateur Swimming Association at Hang Jebat Aquatic Stadium on 9-10 May, 2015. Meanwhile, Leg 2 was hosted by Selangor Amateur Swimming Association at Darul Ehsan Aquatic Centre, Shah Alam just last week on 13-14 June, 2015.

Overall, IBSC swimmers did fairly well for both legs considering the huge gap left by the over-aged swimmers. It is evident that the younger group still need more time to be developed and groomed to realise their full potential. Consistent with these expectations, IBSC was runner-up in both Legs.
Swimmers have swam hard to earn points and the spirit of togetherness both from the swimmers and parents in this game ought to be praised as the whole team gave their best shot. Points earned, no matter how little, added up the total sum, thanks to the achievers below.

The Committee would like to thank the accompanying coaches, Coach Noel, Coach Shazali, Coach Kamarudin and Coach Hisham for guiding the swimmers. Appreciation also goes to Mr Vincent Low being a dedicated Team Manager, and chaperones Ms Feris Lew and Mrs Irene Ng for taking care of the welfare of the entire team. Good job to all!
