IISSC Swimming Competition 2019 ( Nov 2nd-3rd)

Inter Internation Schools swimming competition (IISSC) was over the weekend ( Nov 2nd -3rd ) .Where OSC Competed against 18 teams. In the Past OSC would bring a bigger team but this year we didnt take it as seriously as we have in the Past.  We competed with schools with teams with 60+ swimmers per team. So it was tough.

Results of medal count. From the Competition. With the 16 Swimmers we had we got 9 medals in total.

With the limited amount of people we still managed to be success in one ascpect.  In the 33 races we competed in, we got 33 tops 8, 20 top 6s and 9 top 3. 2 Golds coming from the 15-19 boys winning  both relays but 3 seconds!

We were particularly surprised on how we faired in the races as we were not only swimming against people in the under 20 age group. So when we performed like we did we were sad that we didnt compete in any individual events as we would have done well there aswell.

The Next IISSC and my Last will be next year and I plan to train even harder so that we break the IISSC record which we are only a second behind for thr 4×50 and the 4×50 medlely relay. And Hopefully next we finish off with a bang. By breaking those records and hopefully a individual medal.

Right After the Race we also wore matching lighting swim suits which fit our race as we as fast as lighting in that race.
