We are thrilled to announce the winners of this summer’s Destro Machines: Swimming Power Championships! This social media-driven event brought excitement to swimming enthusiasts worldwide, showcasing incredible talent and fierce competition.
We saw standout performances by the likes of Thomas Verhoeven, Zoe Skirboll, and Ellie Lange.
Thomas was the overall champion with a 25-yard swim pulling a full bucket of water in just 11.83 seconds. This was fast enough to best an unofficial submission from the 50 free World Champion Cam McEvoy.

Zoe Skirboll threw down a time of 16.32 which gave her the largest margin of victory over her peers across any category in the competition.
Ellie Lange at just 12 years old, rounded out the standouts by posting a 19.56 which likely could have put her on the leaderboard for the 15-16 age bracket. We are excited to see her age-up in future competitions.
