Afiq Imran bagged Overall Champ in Boys 16-17 during SICC Meet 2015

Team IBSC joined the 11th SICC Invitational Swimming Championship 2015 for the third year in a row on 1-2 August, 2015 and managed a third overall position even though the team is small with only 22 swimmers participating this year.

The meet was championed by the Philippine Swim League, followed by the host, Singapore Island Country Club as the runner-up.

This year , our team comprised of  a few junior swimmers and some senior swimmers. Not many were able to make it as the meet clashed with a local short course meet in Selangor. However, IBSC swimmers have enjoyed the away meet thoroughly as there were chances of mingling with the Singaporean and Philippines teams.

Team IBSC had an enjoyable time during the meet

Afiq Imran won the age group championship trophy for the boys 16-17 years with collection of 3 gold and 3 silver.

Many of our swimmers have taken the opportunity to renew their personal best times too, especially the younger ones leaping with improvement from one event to another.

The medallists were :

BOYS 16-17	Gold	Silver	Bronze
Afiq Imran Bin Masron	3	3
Howard Sim	3	2	1
Bradley Lim			4
Ooi Ewan			1
4x50 Free Relay (Howard/Ewan/Bradley/Afiq)	1
4x50 Medley Relay (Bradley/Howard/Afiq/Ewan)	1
BOYS 12-13	Gold	Silver	Bronze
Justin Yap	2	3	1
Alif Idlan Bin Masron			1
4x50 Free Relay (Justin/Hoong Kye Ming/Jareick Cheong/Alif Idlan)			1
4x50 Medley Relay (Jareick Cheong/Justin/Alif/Aaron Lau)		1

GIRLS 16-17	Gold	Silver	Bronze
Ng Lyn Sze	1	3	1
Lim Aun Quin		1	5
GIRLS 14-15	Gold	Silver	Bronze
Alia Dato Salleh		1	3
Fathima Azquiya Usuph			2
4x50 Free Relay (Alia/Claudia Lim/Vanessa Lee/Fathima Azquiya)	1
4x50 Medley Relay (Fathima Azquiya/Vanessa Lee/Alia/Claudia Lim)		1
GIRLS 10-11	Gold	Silver	Bronze
4x50 Free Relay (Ng Yen Sze/Teh Jade Lynn/Marissa Soo/Ng Lee Sze)			1
4x50 Medley Relay (Marissa Soo/Ng Le Sze/Ng Yen Sze/Sharmaine Lee)			1

As there weren't enough swimmers in some age groups, younger junior swimmers have to swim up to higher age group to join force in the relays and all were excited to get medals for their great team effort.

The 2-day meet ended on Sunday afternoon with a farewell lunch punctuated with some awesome performances by the swim teams including a trio singing by Alia, Afiq and Alif.

IBSC wishes to express its appreciation to the gracious host, Singapore Island Country Club, for hosting the 11th SICC Invitational Swimming Championship 2015 and we hope to see again next year.
