Youth swimming club wins second SEISA title in nearly 50 years

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) – Hundreds of young swimmers from across Southeast Indiana competed in the SEISA Championship in Greensburg on Saturday.

Milan Aquatics arrived at the meet as the reigning champions and were hoping to repeat.

Other teams that competed were Batesville, Decatur County, Hidden Valley, South Dearborn, Switzerland County and Jefferson County. 

This year, the trophy went to the Decatur County Tiger Sharks for just the second time ever!
