ST. ALBANS — The Middlebury Marlins Swim Team fell to St. Albans, 285-147, on Tuesday in the final dual meet of the Champlain Valley Swim League season.
With the regular season coming to a close, the Marlins are gearing up to host the league championships this coming weekend with sessions starting at 4 p.m. on Friday and at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday.
