Match results

[edit]

In the 2019 inaugural ISL season, the Aqua Centurions fought despite the lack in athletes specialize in the Skin Races.

After the first race in Indianapolis, the Team improved in the "Home Edition" in Naples, Italy, with extraordinary results by Nicolò Martinenghi that almost had the same number of points than the MVP Caeleb Dressel in the first day, with only a four points difference.[5] Due to an unlucky disqualification of Margherita Panziera[6] the Team arrived 4^th for only half a point.

In the last race, the European Derby, the Centurions finished 3^rd behind Energy Standard and London Roar who eventually went on to place 1^st and 2^nd in the Championship Final in Las Vegas.[7]
