Presenting 2020 All-Main Line girls swimming teams

The 2019-20 Main Line high school girls’ swimming season featured a sizable number of talented swimmers, who got to display their talents last winter despite the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, which cut short the PIAA state tournaments in mid-March.
Top Main Line girls’ swimming squads included Academy of Notre Dame (third at Easterns), Conestoga (12-0), Episcopal Academy (7-0, first at Easterns), Friends’ Central (6-0, fourth consecutive Friends’ Schools League champion), Haverford High (8-2-1), Lower Merion (7-4) and Villa Maria Academy (18th consecutive District 1 AA title).
The All-Main Line high school girls’ swimming teams are selected by the coaches. Because Main Line Media News covers 19 high schools, the Main Line Media News sports staff limits the number of sports available to first team, second team and honorable mention – but follows the priority of the coaches’ selections.
