OTTAWA__The Bluffton High School swim teams swept all six dual meets in a four-team event at the Putnam County YMCA on February 1.

The Pirate teams defeated Elida, Ada and McComb convincingly. Bluffton also won all three combined team dual meets easily. 

The only remotely close dual meet was their girls matchup vs. Elida, which the Pirates won by 16 points.
