The Group 6 kids were a cute lot as most of them swam for the first time with kicking fins and boards. They have entertained their excited parents and spectators at large with their eagerness to swim.

The highlights of the meet were the relay events. Team IB swept all gold in the Relay events. Bravo to IB team and congratulations to all medalists and swimmers who shaved off PBs!

A big thank you to PRAKL for organising such an event for the grassroots swimmers. This meet created opportunities for the newbies to learn the Dos and Don'ts in  a swimming competition and it also provided a chance for swimmers to mingle around and make new friends.

Many IB senior swimmers who are over-aged for the meet also did their part by contributing their service and assistance to help run the meet. It is a much appreciated community service and dedicated effort by swimmers as well as  parents in making the meet a successful one.

The committee would like to take the opportunity to thank all for the cooperation rendered by the swimmers, coaches and supportive parents. We look forward to do better in each meet and to groom more potential swimmers in the future.

Well done Team IBSC!
