Viewpoint School’s Lower School Swim teams made a splash this past weekend at the League Finals, competing against Buckley School, Berkeley Hall, Curtis School, Sierra Canyon, and Wise. Both the girls' and boys' teams emerged victorious, with the girls' team dominating with a 46-point lead and the boys' team securing their third consecutive victory by a 36-point margin.

Emma Paris ’31 led the girls’ team with impressive wins in the 100 freestyle and 100 IM, contributing to two winning relays. Grace Patel ’32 finished third in the 100 freestyle, first in the 50 freestyle, and participated in a winning relay.

Ella Sheffield ’31 finished fifth in the 25 backstroke and sixth in the 25 freestyle.

The boys' team also showcased their strength and determination. James Zheng ’31 finished second in both the 100 freestyle and 100 IM, and participated in two successful relay teams. Ethan Guo ’31 took first place in the 25 breaststroke and second in the 50 freestyle, also participating in two winning relays. Tony Meng ’32 placed second in the 25 butterfly and secured first place in the 50 freestyle, while Austin Gass ’31 finished third in the 25 backstroke.

"Winning a league championship in swimming takes great depth, and the number of swimmers who stepped up and contributed this year was tremendous," said Greg Bisheff, Head Coach. "One of the highlights of this season was seeing so many first-time swimmers make significant contributions to the team’s success. Swimming is an individual sport, but watching a group of 50-plus swimmers come together to support and cheer each other on is always the best part of coaching our swim teams. Our hope is that these swimmers continue to bring the same energy and enthusiasm to the pool deck next year!"
