Swimmer Breaks American Paralympic Record

Abington, PA — “My son graduated Abington high School in 2008. He swam on the high school swim team and just beat an American Record.”

Swarthmore College swimmer Travis Pollen broke the American paralympic record in the 100 freestyle with a time of 54.80 seconds. He was competing for the Swarthmore Garnet at the Centennial Conference Championships at Franklin And Marshall College. Travis is from Elkins Park and Abington, PA. He is an above-knee amputee.

After breaking the six-year old record, Pollen will now set his sights on the U.S. spring nationals in San Antonio on March 25-27.
