    Isabella, Alexander, Mara

    Congratulations to our 2019 Grads!

    Isabella Bonaldo: Isabella will be welcomed into the Brock Badger fold in 2019-20 as the Niagara Falls resident is staying on her home turf to attend Brock University. Izzy will be collecting academic scholarship money to study Concurrent Education at Brock, meaning she will graduate with a teaching degree. She is a current Senior group swimmer with Brock Niagara Aquatics, as well as teaching swimming lessons at our home pool.

    Mara Di Persio: Also reaping the benefits of academic scholarship money as an honours student, Mara will be joining Isabella as a varsity Badger in the fall of 2019. Mara will be majoring in Psychology at Brock University, while continuing her Butterfly prowess with the Badgers. She resides in Niagara Falls and is a long-time Senior swimmer with Brock Niagara Aquatics. Mara is also employed at our home pool as a lifeguard and instructor.

    Aidan Iapicco: Aidan made major strides in both school and swimming in the 2019-20 season. His academic average improved considerably to honour roll level, while in the pool Aidan qualified for Canadian Trials for the first time. The Senior group swimmer will be studying through Niagara College in the next year before potentially moving on to post-secondary education, so will continue to train with the Badgers in 2019-20 and attend Olympic Trials in April 2020. Aidan, a St. Catharines resident, will also continue to work at our pool as a lifeguard and instructor.

    Alex Jakovljevic: Niagara Falls resident Alex will be the third Senior group swimmer transitioning to the Badgers in the fall of 2019 as he embarks on a Physical Education degree at Brock University. His honours standing also puts him in line for academic scholarship money. Alex also works as an instructor and lifeguard when not training.

    And on the Post-Secondary Side:

    Simone Waller: Long-time Brock Niagara swimmer Simone graduates from Laurentian University this spring with a degree in Criminal Justice. A four-year member of the Laurentian swim team, Simone is from Niagara Falls. She is excited to start into Law School at the University of Ottawa in the fall of 2019.
