Sports+Teams

=Competitive Sports Programme= In representing BSL we hope to enrich our students through a variety of sports. Competitive sports enable students to develop life skills such as : confidence & self - worth, team skills, co-operation, tactics & strategies, communication skills, collaborative planning & problem solving. We develop these values by learning from our victories, our losses, the day-to-day challenges of practice, and our efforts to find balance between our athletic, academic, and personal lives. Representing Rego is a **privilege** and a **responsibility** open to any student who is willing to give up their time to train and practice in the sports that they choose. We hope that our students can gain valuable experiences through the opportunities that are being provided.

In the following pages you will be able to see the students in action and learn more of the programme on offer.

Swimming Program
The Rego Competitive Swim Team compliments the work that our department does in the swimming lesson program. The team is divided into two groups: 1) Junior Age Group Team 2) Senior Team

Practices
Each team has certain practices each week. Swimmers are encouraged to attend as many practices as they can to ensure that they make good progress. Currently the practices that are offered are as follows: Monday: 3.30pm-4.30pm (Junior Team) Tuesday: 3.30pm-4.30pm (SeniorTeam) Friday: 3.30pm-4.45pm (Junior & Senior Team) Saturday: 9.00am-11.00am (Junior and Senior Team)

Swimming Meets
The school will host several meets throughout the year. If your child is on the team, we would love to have you as a volunteer on poolside. In addition to the local meets, we will be travelling to meets in Beijing, Shanghai and around China. Information will be sent home with each member of the team. At the swim meet, your child will be selected to swim in events to represent the school. They are being asked to swim their best swims, which might not be their favourite. It is up to the coach to balance the needs of the team and the needs of the individual swimmers. Your child should bring plenty to eat and drink on the way to the meet and for after their swims. It is also helpful if they have something to do while they are waiting their turn to swim. They should bring plenty of warm clothes and a spare bathing suit and goggles with them to swimming meets. A swimming hat (REGO BLUE) is required to compete in swimming events.
