Making A Splash — Torpedoes Shine In Swim Championships

Members of the Newtown Torpedoes Swim Team, this past weekend, participated in the season-ending pentathlon, All-Star competition for top finishers at the Yankee League Championships the previous week.

In the pentathlon, each swimmer swims five events, all four competitive strokes and a 100-yard individual medley, and cumulative time determines placement.
