Photo journal: Bethel's Brinkhoff, USC's Hardwick, and other South swimmers at Pitt

Many great swimmers from varsity teams throughout the WPIAL came together to compete earlier this month at the annual Pitt Christmas Swim meet. Sports Town posted videos of the meet on December 15, just after many of the shorter "varsity" type events were held.

The photos you see here are of some of the South's best swimmers. Note that as they competed at Pitt, they were competing as part of their year-round USASwimming clubs and not their varsity teams.
