Junior Swim Team's Impressive Performance at ESSA Championships

Our junior swim team—Claudia W, Evelyn H, Sienna W, and Mollie M — showcased their exceptional skills at the ESSA championship in Birmingham over the weekend. Competing against the top 24 teams in the country, their achievements were nothing short of remarkable.

Despite the transition from a 25m pool (where turns offer advantages) to a 50m pool for the Championship, the team managed to slash an impressive three seconds off their qualifying time in the freestyle relay. From their initial 19th place, they climbed to an impressive 11th — a testament to their adaptability and hard work.

In the Medley race, their performance was equally impressive. Securing a spot in the final with a strong showing in a fast-paced heat, they faced tough competition. Their determined efforts led them to a commendable 5th place overall, competing against renowned Swim schools.

Their success not only demonstrates their talent but also puts Pipers Corner School on the map amongst the most elite in the country.
