Carib Swim Team used the sprint opportunities that the second annual Fall Pentathlon provided to their advantage, with tons of best times, new time standards, and a few new team records!

This year's LAB Sports Harbor to Pier Open Water Challenge was, unfortunately, poorly attended. Still, Carib Swim Team members did us proud, taking home all four trophies. In the long swim, Matias Piazza repeated his win. Arianna Lont finished second, and was the first woman out of the water. For the short swim, Nico Piazza won, a short distance ahead of Gigi Cai, who finished second (and was the first female finisher). CST adult swimmers also competed well, with Edgar Gronovin, Larissa Walsarie Wolff, and Coach Eline all finishing well!...
