BELFAST — It has been a successful, albeit surreal and virtual, season for the Belfast swimmers, who have enjoyed tremendous pool success.

In dual-meets this winter, the Lion boys are 6-0 and Lion girls 4-2.

High school swim meets have been held virtually this year due to the pandemic. That means teams compete in their home pools during a time frame of a few days and later compare results/times to rank swimmers as if they competed at the same venue on the same day.

Belfast swims at its school pool.

In competition the week of Feb. 8-12, the Lions split with Morse of Bath. The Lion boys won 57-35 and Lions girls lost 52-42.
