TNT Swimming 15-year-old Levenia Sim swam lifetime bests in 7 events at last weeks NCSA Summer Championships. The newly-turned 15-year-old’s best race arguably came on the final night of the meet, when she swam a 28.79 to win the women’s 50 backstroke.

Sim is now ranked #8 all-time for 15-year-olds in the girls LCM 50 back.
