MAHWAH, NJ — It was a great season for the Mahwah Marlins, Angela Larkin, administrator for the swim and dive teams, told Patch.

In fact, the swim team went undefeated, while capturing a league title this summer, and the dive team was also crowned league champions, Larkin said. Both teams included children aged 5-17, some of whom swam and dived, and they each won their respective six-team league meets.

After winning the Central Bergen Swim League competition, the swim team had 14 swimmers who were selected to move on to the county level, where one swimmer, Sebastian Hendrawan, broke the 50-meter freestyle county record.

And the dive team, which won the Super Six League competition, had eight divers go on to the county level.

Here are some other distinguished athletes that Larkin highlighted for their performances at the county meet:

• First place in the 200-meter freestyle relay in the girls 11-12 division — Zaria Hallman, Maya Los, Naya Snono, and Grace Turano
• First and second place in the 25-meter breaststroke in the girls 5-6 division — Kathryn Limatola and Sarah Los
