Triumph in Salerno: Swim Academy Secures Championship Title and B-Series Playoff Berth

The Swim Academy water polo team achieved a resounding victory over Oasi Salerno, securing the Campanian Serie C championship title. The hard-fought match, played at the Simone Vitale pool, concluded with a decisive 12-6 win, sparking jubilant celebrations among players and fans alike. The victory propels the team to the B-series playoff, a significant milestone in the club’s history. Despite facing a determined Oasi Salerno team, the Swim Academy players demonstrated exceptional skill and teamwork. While the early stages of the game were marked by a closely contested battle, the Pagani athletes broke the deadlock in the third quarter, scoring four unanswered goals to establish a commanding lead. The final whistle signaled not only the end of the match, but also the culmination of an unprecedented achievement for Pagani: a Serie C championship win, surpassing teams representing larger provincial capitals. Goalkeeper and captain Gianluca Desiderio expressed his elation: “It’s been an incredible season. Our initial goal was simply to enjoy ourselves, and that’s exactly what we did. The loss in Santa Maria Capua Vetere served as a wake-up call, driving us to prove our mettle. Our matches against Sporting showcased our strength as a team, both home and away. Today’s performance in Salerno, fueled by our passionate supporters, was another testament to our capabilities. Personally, it’s incredibly rewarding, especially as this is my final season. I thank my teammates and Coach Fasano. Delaying retirement? No comment for now; our focus is Rome, and we’ll fight for our dream until the very end.”
