“Easterns is a meet that demands resilience, focus, and belief,” Ben Smith said.

“Our swimmers have been working intensely throughout this season and this is an opportunity for them to challenge some of the best scholastic swimmers in the United States. Warwick Academy is proud to represent Bermuda on this stage and our athletes are ready.
