Fernando Parra Reaches Two National Championship Finals

Qualifying for the finals of a National Championship is no small feat, and Fernando Parra has done it twice over — reaching the final in both the 50m Freestyle and the 50m Butterfly.

Fernando trains with the Kronos Swim Team IMD, and the standard he reached at nationals is the product of a great deal of quiet, unglamorous work: early mornings, repeated sets, and the discipline to keep refining a stroke long after it already looks good.

Swimming rewards exactly the habits we hope to build in every Oxfordian — consistency, self-discipline and the willingness to measure yourself against the best and come back to train again. We are enormously proud of his performance.

Congratulations, Fernando. The whole Oxfordian community is behind you.
