The Bloom & Zoom KASS#4 Swim Meet, held on April 17 and 18 at Chadwick International School, was a fantastic celebration of competitive swimming, team spirit, and positive energy. With 70 YISS swimmers from K to 12th grade participating, the event provided a valuable opportunity for athletes across all age groups to gain experience, build confidence, and showcase their progress this season.
We are especially proud to recognize our event champions, who delivered exceptional performances:

In addition, five swimmers achieved all-time Top 5 performances in YISS history—an impressive testament to their dedication and growth this season. Roy Y. (2) entered the Boys 8 & Under Top 5 in the 25m Butterfly (22.32). Elena K. (4) set a new Girls 9–10 school record in the 200m Freestyle (2:51.38). Hari K.
