Swimming Team 2015/16
The TigerSharks team have had another successful year. The top team award and numerous individual awards at ISB SwimFest in November was followed by some excellent swims and the overall team award at our own Feeding Frenzy International meet in December attended by 500 athletes from Asia! In January 52 athletes swam at FOBISIA in Phuket winning Top Team as well as three age group trophies at the meet. Fourteen Patana swimmers competing in the Thai Nationals in individual events. Ton Kiangsiri won a Silver medal in the 17-18 years 50m Breaststroke and Coach Bank a Bronze in the Open Ladies 50m Breaststroke. Chloe Burkill, Max Stockdale, Prin Chantarangkul and Lachlan Dibbayawan all made finals. The 12-13 year Girls 4 x 200m Freestyle relay won an historic Silver medal. In the SEASAC event in Kuala Lumpur the 13-14 year Boys won their age group with the Girls age 13-14 and 15+ team third in their age groups. Overall the Girls team were third and the Boys second with TigerSharks a close third in the overall meet. Many personal best times set by the team. BISAC 2016 saw both the Senior and Junior teams crowned Champions. The junior title was the first time since 2009 that BPS had won this event. All but two age group trophies were won by the team. A small team also went to Dragons Den in Singapore finishing 5th overall at UWC EAST with Chloe Burkhill and Daniel Fuchs winning age group trophies. This year just under 50 school records have been broken by the team as well as many personal times achieved along the way. A very well done to the whole team and the coaching staff. Good luck to all TigerShark leavers and a special farewell to Millie, Kate, Mel, Sophie, Ton and Anselm for their dedication to the team over the years.
