FINIS-sponsored swimmer Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace dominated the 2015 Bahamas National Championships held this past weekend, winning three national titles. Vanderpool-Wallace won the 50-meter butterfly with a time of 26.56, which is just outside the world’s top 25 times in the event. She already ranks 6th globally in this event, due to her time at the Arena Pro Swim Series at Charlotte.
Vanderpool-Wallace also continued her domination as the Bahamian “sprint queen” by winning both the 50- and 100-meter freestyle events. She swam a 25.10 and 55.65, respectively, in these events. She ranks 3rd in the world in the 50-meter freestyle, a result of her blistering 24.35 swim in Charlotte.
“Arianna is an unbelievable talent and maintains a work ethic that will help lead her to new heights going into international competition this summer. She is absolutely a name people should be watching out for, heading into the summer and 2016,” states, John Mix, CEO, FINIS, Inc.
Up next for Vanderpool-Wallace is the 2015 Pan American Games held in Toronto, Canada. The games take place from July 10–26, with the swimming portion taking place July 14–18.
