Presenting 2021 All-Main Line girls swimming teams

Although the COVID-19 pandemic limited the 2021 Main Line high school girls’ swimming and diving season, several local teams and swimmers had memorable seasons. Conestoga captured the PIAA District 1 3A championship as well as the Central League crown. Academy of Notre Dame, Baldwin School and Episcopal Academy were well-represented among the leading swimmers and divers on the Easterns Leaderboard.
The All-Main Line high school girls’ swimming and diving 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.
