This was due to the healthy relationships and the presence of respectable and virtuous swimmers. For example, in HKSSF 2024-2025, the ISF swim team was able to progress from D3 to D2 and from D2 to D1 because of their united vision\u2014a vision that no other school had. At the same time, cheering for other schools when their morale was low showed me that the ISF team is selfless and caring, with these characteristics flowing through each student, making ISF a better place.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                .image-container{\r\n                    width:100%;\r\n                    overflow:hidden;\r\n                    position:relative;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container img{\r\n                    width:100%;\r\n                    border-radius:0px 72px 0px 72px;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container.Bottom2Col img{\r\n                    border-radius:72px 0px 72px 0px;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container .caption-container{\r\n                    position:absolute;\r\n                    right:0;\r\n                    left:0;\r\n                    bottom:0;\r\n                    max-height:50%;\r\n                    z-index:2;\r\n                    background:rgba(0,24,132, 0.8);\r\n                    border-radius:0px 72px 0px 72px;\r\n                    padding:10px 30px 30px 30px;\r\n                    overflow:hidden;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container.Bottom2Col .caption-container{\r\n                    padding:4% 50px;\r\n                    max-height:33%;\r\n                    border-radius:72px 0px 72px 0px;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container.Mouseover .caption-container{\r\n                    display:none;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container.Mouseover:hover .caption-container{                    \r\n                    display:block;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container.Mouseover:hover::after {position:absolute;\r\n                    right:0;\r\n                    left:0;\r\n                    bottom:0;\r\n                    top:0;\r\n                    content:\"\";\r\n                    z-index:1;\r\n                    background:rgba(0,0,0,0.3);\r\n                    border-radius:0px 72px 0px 72px;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container .caption-inner-container{\r\n                    height:100%;\r\n                    overflow:hidden;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container .caption-title{\r\n                    width:100%;\r\n                    display:block;\r\n                    float:left;\r\n                    color:#FFF;\r\n                    font-size:28px;\r\n                    font-weight:600;\r\n                    margin-right:-5px;\r\n                    padding:10px 0px;\r\n                    line-height:1.2;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container.Bottom2Col .caption-title{\r\n                    width:30%;\r\n                    font-size:32px;\r\n                    padding:0px 10px;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container .caption::before{\r\n                    content:\" \";\r\n                    background:#FFF;\r\n                    position:absolute;\r\n                    display:block;\r\n                    float:left;\r\n                    width:40px;\r\n                    height:3px;\r\n                    margin-top:-20px;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container.Bottom2Col .caption::before{\r\n                    top:50%;\r\n                    width:3px;\r\n                    height:40px;\r\n                    margin-top:-20px;\r\n                    margin-left:-55px;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container .caption{\r\n                    color:#FFF;\r\n                    display:block;\r\n                    float:left;\r\n                    font-size:18px;\r\n                    overflow:hidden;\r\n                    line-height:1.4;\r\n                    width:100%;\r\n                    padding:10px 0px;\r\n                    padding-top:20px;\r\n                }\r\n                .image-container.Bottom2Col .caption{\r\n                    width:60%;\r\n                    margin-left:10%;\r\n                    padding:0px 10px;\r\n                    padding-left:50px;\r\n\r\n                }\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n                <\/style><div id=\"&#8221;&#8221;\" class=\"&#8221;&#8221;
