We were proud to host this year’s Pre‑AASCA Swimming Tournament on our campus, welcoming athletes from Lincoln International Academy, Notre Dame, Colegio Alemán Nicaragüense, Colegio Centroamérica, Club Barracudas and our school.

It was a day filled with energy, teamwork, and great competition. The warm‑up sets the stage for the official AASCA Swimming Tournament coming this April at our school.
