On Thursday (29 October), our CDSC swim team was back in the pool! Under beautiful weather and perfect conditions, the Junior Swim Meet took place at NIS. We were proud to participate with an enthusiastic team of 14 students, including many new faces as well as some familiar swimming talents.

A fantastic new feature this year: The competition was livestreamed on YouTube with live commentary! This allowed fans to follow the action and cheer on our swimmers from home or from the NIS cafeteria.

We are especially proud of our students’ determination, sportsmanship and amazing team spirit. They gave it their all in both the individual races and relay events right until the very end!

A huge thank you to all our participants, supportive parents and coaches who were there to cheer everyone on.

Here are our proud Lions and their achievements:
