In recent weeks, the Bocconi Sport swimming team has stood out at the Regional Championships with outstanding results, confirming its position among the most competitive university teams.
The competitions, held in Monza and Milano over the weekends of March 7–8 and 14–15, saw our athletes deliver high-level performances and achieve numerous personal bests.
Matteo Rodella was the standout performer, winning the regional title in the 200m breaststroke, along with two silver medals in the 400m individual medley and the 100m breaststroke, and a fourth-place finish in the 50m breaststroke.
Lodovico De Ferrari also delivered an excellent performance, becoming regional champion in the 100m freestyle, as well as securing a silver medal in the 50m butterfly and a bronze in the 50m freestyle.
Among the other results, Giovanni Garetto’s performances stood out, with a fourth-place finish in the 100m freestyle and a strong relay leg in the 4x100m freestyle, which earned a regional bronze medal.
Additional contributions came from Petralia, Konieczny, Dell’Avvocato, Pieri, Bellazzi, Ilter, De Falco and Bernardo, who competed in both individual and relay events, contributing to the team’s overall success.
The final medal tally speaks for itself: 2 gold, 3 silver, and 2 bronze medals, marking an outstanding regional championship campaign.
In parallel, Giovanni Garetto also secured qualification for the Italian National Category Championships in Rome in the 100m freestyle, achieved during the Swimming Cup.
The Swimming Cup, held at the Bocconi Sport Center pool and organized by Aquamore in collaboration with Bocconi Sport, was a great success. The event welcomed around 500 athletes, including some of the best young talents in the region — many of them Bocconi swimmers — providing a valuable competitive environment and increasing the visibility of the Bocconi Sport project beyond the university setting.
