Presenting 2022-23 All-Main Line swimming teams

The Main Line high school swimming and diving scene featured a num-ber of strong teams this past winter, particularly at Conestoga. The Pio-neer girls finished third at the PIAA 3A state championships, while the Conestoga boys also placed third. At Easterns, Academy of Notre Dame finished sixth in the girls competition, while Episcopal Academy was eighth. In the Easterns boys competition, Haverford School finished fourth and Malvern Prep seventh.
The All-Main Line high school 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 pri-ority of the coaches’ selections.
