Dear Parents,

We have reviewed AIS Sharks Swim Team travel policy for the Bangkok Patana School (BPS) Feeding Frenzy Meet, December 2018.

In accordance with AIS guidelines, the AIS Sharks Swim Team travel policy includes the following:

Year 4 Students  have two options - Option 1 must travel and stay with parents or Option 2 must travel with team

OPTION 1

Eligible students in Year 4 wishing to take this opportunity must be accompanied by a parent / guardian 100% of the time. Coaching / duty of care will be performed by AIS coaches throughout the meet while at BPS, however a guardian must be on campus at all times. These swimmers may choose to sit with the AIS Sharks Team in the Eastern Grandstand and / or with their parents on the Western side of the competition pool.

These Year 4  Swimmers may only participate in team activities on BPS grounds.

A payment of $266 to AIS will be required to cover the following:

  1. Entry Fees :
    1. Meet Entry

    3. Sunday Team Lunch

  2. School Insurance (compulsory for coverage whilst at the swim meet)

All other arrangements and costs associated to be paid by the parent / guardian. This includes:

Travel Recommendation for Parents

We would recommend parents to fly to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). It would take approximately 45 mins by car to get to the Novotel Bangkok Bangna Hotel.

Hotel Recommendation for Parents

We would advise parents who will be traveling to Bangkok to accompany their child to stay at the Novotel Bangkok Bangna, as this is close to the team hotel. Click here to view the hotel website.

Parents are to make their own bookings for flights and accommodation over the weekend.

OPTION 2

To travel together with the Year 5 and above team from Thursday 6 December for the entire period.
