Maia Cunningham, a 12-year-old Vashon swimmer, will represent the Vashon Seals Swim Team at the upcoming Northwest Region Age Group Championships. She is the first Seal to ever quality for the regional championships.
The Vashon Seals Swim Team recently wrapped up a strong fall season. Despite the team’s small size and limited practice facilities, the Seals have formed a solid backbone of older swimmers in recent years and have become a more formidable opponent at meets. Over four meets last season, the 45 swimmers competed in 382 swims. More than 50 percent of those swims resulted in personal best times for the athletes, and 73 percent of the swims resulted in a Silver, Gold or Champs time standard. In addition, new Seals team records were set 36 times throughout the season.
