On Thursday December 4th, against Middletown South, CBA won its 200 consecutive duel meet in the Shore Conference.

“This victory symbolizes all of the hard work and dedication from every past swimmer who has competed for CBA,” said head coach Vito Chiaravalloti.
The alumni achievements and power of current teams have helped to bring the program to where it is now. The boys on the team all know that they have a tradition to uphold and a school to represent, which is great attribute to have on any type of sports team.
