The season kicked off with the tournament held in St. George’s School, Musoorie. Inspite of the tough competition, the School grabbed an impressive tally of 27 medals. The School emerged victorious in both the relays and Charlie Fry, an exchange student from Ballarat Grammar School, won all his events. The next upcoming event was the Councils’ Tournament in which the team did not fail to prove their might and dominance. The School accomplished second position overall and impressive performances were showcased by Angad Singh and Charlie Fry, who were also adjudged the Best Swimmers of the Tournament. The much-awaited Inter-House Competition did not fail to live up to everybody’s expectations. People witnessed exhilarating performances from Oberoi and Jaipur houses. Yet again, this year, the boys did not disappoint to smash records. Charlie Fry broke quite a few records with his dominating presence in the pool. In the end, after a very good level of competition, Jaipur House bagged the House cup with Oberoi House coming a close second. Unfortunately, the School was unable to participate in the IPSC tournament, as it wasn’t held this year. After witnessing some remarkable performances in the various competitions, emerging talent was seen in the junior category in the form of Nihal Singh Maan, Varun Sehgal, Rohan Agarwal and Shourya Kishorepuria. The senior category saw commendable performances by Apurv Agarwal, Jaiveer Jakhar, Sambudha Naha, Rana Chowgule, Raj Surana, Zorawar Whig, Animesh Jain, Charlie Fry and Aditya Vikram Gupta. This year’s performance could not have been up to the mark without the undying guidance of the master-in-charge Mr Samik Das and the constant help of Mrs Anez Katre. Overall this year the Swimming team showcased immense dedication and hard work. The presence of promising juniors and experienced seniors ensures the prospect of having successful years ahead.
