The recent SAIKAC Swim Tournament saw an impressive display of talent from 11 participating schools, including American School Dhahran (ASD), British School Dhahran (BSD), ISG Dammam, ISG Jubail, Sara Village School (SVS) and more. With sixty-five students representing ISG, including 24 from ASD, 23 from BSD, four from ISG Dammam, 12 from ISG Jubail and two from SVS, it was a fierce competition. We're proud to announce that BSD secured a commendable fourth-place finish overall, with ASD not far behind, securing the fifth position. In the girls' category, BSD clinched the third spot, while ASD secured a respectable fourth place. On the boys' side, ASD stood strong in fourth place, with BSD closely following in sixth. When tallying up the scores across all ISG schools, the results were particularly impressive, showcasing the collective talent and dedication of our swimmers. Additionally, one of our students received the boys' individual high points score award.
The overall medal count for ISG swimmers is a testament to their hard work and commitment to excellence:

Moreover, many of our swimmers achieved personal best times, underscoring their continuous improvement and dedication to training. For some, this tournament marked their debut in competitive swimming—an invaluable experience that will undoubtedly fuel their passion and growth in the sport. Overall, it was a fantastic result for the ISG swim team, showing tremendous promise for our first time participating in the SAIKAC swimming tournament. We are excited to continue nurturing and supporting this group of hardworking swimmers as they embark on their journey to further success. Here's to many more victorious events ahead!
