Beyond the Lane Lines
What stood out beyond the medal table was the spirit in which our swimmers competed. Cheering for teammates, learning from every lap, and embracing the essence of school sport — this was TBS at its finest.
Our swimmers embodied the values of the Panthers: courage, commitment, and community. Whether they stood on the podium or supported from poolside, every athlete grew stronger — in skill, confidence, and character.
As we look to future meets and bigger challenges, the AES event reaffirmed one thing — Panthers do not just swim to win; they swim with heart.
Go Panthers!
