Chennai swimmers had a splashing swim camp with IBSC

A dozen of Chennai swimmers have joined IBSC for a joint swim training camp recently in KL and they have heaps of experience practicing together with IB swimmers.

The team from Velammal International School was led by Coach R. Vijay arrived in Kuala Lumpur on 15 May 2017 and wasted no time as they immediately joined our swim team in training the very next day. They were Vinayek, Sivasubramanian, Rajaeswara, Udhistran, Sankar and Kishore.

The training was somewhat different accordingly to our guest swimmers who were on summer holidays mode and was tough in the initial first week as they accustomed themselves to more endurance training heightened further with the impact of gym and land exercises.

In the course of the one month camp, they also have the opportunities not only to make new friends at the pool but also visited some interesting attractions K.L has to offer.

IBSC would be pleased to host them again in the near future when they return during the holidays.
