The SCIAA High School Swimming program improved this year with the addition of 2 new teams, bigger rosters and the overall competition level. On the boys side, newcomer East HS coached by Hannah Raymond was led by a number of top swimmers who placed first including Luke Parker (200 yd freestyle), Stephen Ferreria (200 yd IM; 100 yd Backstroke, ), Daniel Graham (50 yd Butterfly) and Chris Bailey (100 yd Breaststroke). East boys also placed first in the 200 yd Freestyle Relay and the 200 yd Medley Relay. On the girls side Crosstown HS, also new this year took top honors.
