On 28th March 2014, TES took part in the 2014 British Schools in the Middle East Swimming Championships in Oman. 24 TES swimmers travelled to Muscat accompanied by coaches Mrs Chal, Mrs Grace and Mr Heskett to compete in the annual BSME competition. The BSME Swimming Championships offer the best competition there is against the best British schools in the Middle East. Some excellent times and personal bests were achieved by all of the TES swimmers and TES gave an excellent account of themselves overall. The squad had a fabulous time and as well as competing in the events, went on some fun trips to experience Muscat and bring an end to a superb 2014 BSME swimming event. TES have firmly cemented their place as a strong swimming school at BSME and Mrs Chal and her team look forward to entering again and achieving more success next year. Well done to all of the squad who went to Muscat to compete, there were some outstanding performances and all of the swimmers were a credit to TES. Fabulous effort.
