Welcome to the ISB Panther Swim Team website - Home of 2010 BISAC Champions
The ISB Panther Swim Team serves the entire spectrum of the ISB community. The competitive arm of our ISB Panther Swim Club is now 150 members strong and growing including swimmers from 2nd through 12th grade and a very active Masters team. An additional 180+ swimmers participate in a Learn to Swim program with our partners LetsAsia for those younger and/or less experienced swimmers. The ISB Panther Swim Club is a community/parent run Swim Club for students of the International School of Bangkok, and Masters swimmers from the ISB community. The Panthers use the facilities of both ISB and Nichada Sports Club.
The swimming season is divided into two sessions, August-December and January-May. Each semester the Club holds one or two Intrasquad Meets, hosts at least one large Invitational Meet and provides a travel opportunity for one or two International meets in Asia. The international travel meet for 2009-2010 was to Singapore. We completed our meet schedule this year with a meet in Phuket at the end of May. In October 2010 we are planning our first trip to Shanghai for a great meet hosted by Shanghai American School at their new pool in the Pudong Campus. We are looking to add at least one or two more travel meets to our schedule. Few things build camaraderie and team spirit like travel meets!
There are many benefits to participating in the sport of swimming:
-
Meeting terrific people. Many swimming buddies become lifelong friends.
-
Beneficial exercise for cardiovascular and overall fitness.
-
Life skills such as leadership, time management, self-discipline and sportsmanship.
-
Fun! Age group swimming can be fun, exciting and rewarding.
Remember that not every swimmer becomes a world record holder, but everyone can gain from his or her swimming experience!
Fall Semester tryouts will occur on Saturday August 14 at the ISB Pool. For details go here: http://www.isb.ac.th/Join_The_Club/default.aspx
