The MYIS Goats Swim Team made a big splash this weekend at the Annual ISB SwimFest, competing alongside more than 800 swimmers from 23 schools across Thailand. It was an incredible weekend filled with teamwork, sportsmanship, and personal bests.
The MYIS swimmers showed true Goats spirit both in and out of the pool, supporting each other, celebrating every race, and demonstrating how far our young student-athletes have come in such a short time.
MYIS finished 8th overall out of 23 schools, an outstanding result for our growing program. Even more impressive, MYIS placed 1st among all six BISAL Conference schools that participated, a remarkable achievement.

The Goats Swim Team’s success is the result of teamwork, discipline, and countless hours in the pool with Coach Mon. Every swimmer contributed to the team’s strong performance and left the meet with new goals and motivation for the season ahead.
Our next event will be the ISB Snowflake Meet on December 2, featuring our Grade 1 to 3 swimmers.
