Adventure Aquarium sponsoring youth swimming championships next month

Young swimmers get special admissions to the museum

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Camden’s Adventure Aquarium is partnering with Middle Atlantic Swimming as the title sponsor of this year’s 10 and Under Championships, which take place next month.

Young swimmers get their first real taste of competition at the 10 and Under Championships.

The partnership will reward 48 race winners with a ticket to visit Adventure Aquarium. The high-point winner, dubbed the “Shark of the Meet,” will get admission tickets plus a private animal encounter with sea turtles.

Aquarium spokesperson Jennifer Porter said the sponsorship is a perfect fit.

“I’m thrilled Adventure Aquarium can play a small role in supporting these young athletes at the start of their swimming careers,” she said. “This partnership looks to fuel that love of water by bringing families to Adventure Aquarium to explore life underwater with our sharks, penguins sea turtles and hippos.”

The swim meets take place March 11 and 13 at North Penn High and Nazareth Middle schools.
