YISS Swimmers Set Records at First KASS Event

In the early morning of Saturday, October 21, a group of 30 YISS students got up at dawn to compete in the first in-person swim meet in almost three years: the first event of KASS (Korean All-Age Swim Series) at Chadwick International. 

A festive atmosphere awaited us by the pool at CI, and it was with great enthusiasm that our swimmers got wet to try to set the records for this new league, KASS. Several excellent results should be highlighted from our swimmers who placed in the top five of their events.
