Great Work at TYR LC Winter Invitational


Congratulations to our swimmers who raced at the 2023 TYR LC Winter Invitational at the Sonny Werblin Recreation Center in Piscataway, NJ! AGUA athletes competed against the northeast's top teams and earned many personal best times, championship cuts, and more.


The AGUA team was led by Alegra Teixidor-Salerno who posted the top time in the country so far this season for 14-year-old girls in the 200 meter breaststroke. Alegra's time of 2:38.63 also earned her a third-place finish for all ages at the meet. Alegra also scored in the 100 breaststroke (fourth) and 400 IM (12th).


Congratulations to our additional point-scorers:

  • Colin Babbitt - 800 freestyle
  • Isabella Babbitt - 1500 freestyle
  • Isabella Castano - 100 and 200 butterfly
  • Abi Greenberg - 200 butterfly; 800 freestyle; 200 IM
