Swimming Academy

The BISP JSA Swim Academy is one of the best in Asia producing 18 National Records and five qualifiers for the 2014 FINA World Swimming Championship in Doha, in its first year!

The Swim Academy boasts two outdoor swimming pools; an Olympic sized 50-metre pool and a 25-metre pool. These are used for all student lessons, as well as being training centres for the Flying Fish Swim Club, an extensive swimming programme organised by the school’s professionally coached swim team.

At the top end, the Swim Academy focuses on nurturing talent and instilling an ethic of hard work in our student-athletes, in a bid to create an environment where ‘Champions’ are inevitable.

Training practices provide a perfect balance of swimming and dry land training, utilising the latest practices in swim programme design, with a coaching staff dedicated to working individually with the athletes across a wide range of goals and objectives.

Swim Academy Head Coach, Simon Jones, MSc., is a leading swim coach who has worked extensively with all ranges of swimming abilities, though most notably at the age group and senior international level in both the UK and Asia.

He currently works with 15 International Age Group Swimmers, including three Youth Olympic Games athletes, 1 Asian Games finalist and 2 World Championship qualifiers.

A strong believer in leadership and character development, Simon’s senior swimmers have gone on to both UK and US Collegiate levels excelling in both academic and sporting disciplines.
