Aquatics at ISB

We aim to develop the child at an age appropriate level within a long-term athletic development pathway model.

There is a separate website dedicated to swim academy information, which is used to send correspondence, post results and give more detailed weekly information regarding this program.

Try-outs for the seasonal offerings will take place in the same week as our group standard time-trials for ES and MS. We will try our very best to include everyone who wants to swim competitively in the ES and MS seasons, unless safety concerns surrounding numbers causes us to select swimmers. There are 2 try-out weeks for the swim academy - one near the beginning of each semester. If a student is brand new to the school, then we can set-up a try-out on a chosen afternoon before the swim practices begin.

Seasonal offerings are where we hope to offer swimming to those that don’t make the swim academy. If your child is still unable to swim at ISB due to scheduling or lack of space due to safety, we can suggest some external offerings within the Beijing swimming landscape.

At present the school and the coaches do not offer 1:1 coaching, but there may be scope to offer something of this nature on weekends in the future, for small groups of swimmers requiring extra technical practice. We are now looking into the possibility of camps at certain breaks in the year.
