Invitational Swim Meet

Saturday, 11th October, saw a group of UISG swimmers head down to AISG for their annual Invitational Swim Meet. This is a competitive gala for the Guangzhou schools. School holidays and clashes with other sports competitions meant that we attended with a few regular swimmers missing from the squad, but those who attended did not disappoint.

We competed in a range of relay and individual events, with quite a few heats in each event. Our swimmers were amazing and won many heats and a large number went on to gain top 6 places. There were also some standout performances where our top swimmers even won their events. Mostly importantly they all had fun, with many achieving personal best times in their respective events.

Overall, as a school team, UISG finished in 4th position. This was no disgrace as we were competing with a smaller squad. Below is a summary of the individual and relay achievements.
