There are several North End kids who just completed another season of swimming at the BCNC (Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center). The team is developing into a real powerhouse within the city league. Attached is a picture from their last practice, submitted by Cheryl Sullivan.

From the North End are Rian and Liam Finn, Paige and Marilyn Fitzgerald, Maria, Victoria and Jenny Peterlin, Alphie DeTemple, Griffin Nelson Black, Maya Sen Jennings, Sam Sullivan and Alissa Regassa.
