Those records she surprisingly does not hold would be the 200 free and the 100 fly, both of which are owned by her former teammate Ana Persun. So with one of the last meets on the schedule this past Tuesday, Bair decided why not give those two a shot.

She was eyeing two more records to add to her unbelievable resume, and while those records didn’t fall, it still showed why Bair is one of District 6’s best swimmers. The Central Mountain standout won the 200 free with a time of 2:02.18, beating out Wellsboro’s Piper Anderegg by eight seconds as she led after the first 25 yards and never was threatened.

In the 100 fly, Bair won in 1:02.59, winning by 11 seconds over Williamsport’s KIley Persun.

When Bair gets into the pool, she’s the top swimmer in her event no matter which one she’s competing in, and her work ethic is a huge reason why. She may not have those records yet, but give her a chance and there’s a solid opportunity she can do it.

DAVE KENNEDY/Sun-Gazette Central Mountain’s Camryn Bair competes during a double dual with Williamsport, Mifflinburg and Wellsboro this past Tuesday.

“She wanted to swim those today, it was her last opportunity. Those are two events she does not have the school record, Ana Persun does. She was giving it all she could, she didn’t get it today, but she’s very versatile and can swim all the strokes,” Central Mountain coach Scott Bair said. “I’m very proud of her from a coaching standpoint and as her father, she puts a lot of time in.”

Bair’s extremely versatile in the pool. She can dominate a short race such as the 50 free with speed, or she can outlast a lot of distance swimmers and cruise to a victory in the 500 free.

“I do a lot of training where I’m constantly just racing stuff, so whenever I go out and compete it’s pretty much just like practice,” Bair said. “I go out and try to fix things and go out differently so I can beat it every time, that’s how I beat it last week. I tried to get out faster than I did the time prior and I think that’s what got me a new record.”

Bair’s approach by constantly adapting and trying to fix little things in her swims is why she’s the record holder in five individual events and two relays. On Jan. 28, Bair re-broke her own school record in the 500 free in a dual with Mount Carmel as she swam a time of 5:31.78 to reset her own mark.

She also holds the records in five other individual events. She broke the school’s 50 free record in 2023 with a time of 23.85. That year she also broke the 100 free mark in 53.27. She broke the 200 IM in 2024 (2:14.79) in addition to both the 100 back (1:01.69) and 100 breast (1:05.69).

And, as a freshman in 2022, she helped the 200 free relay team with Ana Persun, Hannah Brian and Madison Bair swim a 1:41.65 for the school record in addition to that foursome also setting the 400 free relay team record in 3:46.99.

Not many swimmers have the caliber of a resume that Bair does.

“It’s really cool to see (all the records), but there’s definitely two more I’d love to get before the season’s over, one more meet, we’ll see if I end up getting those or not,” Bair said.

Bair has a work ethic that’s tough to beat. The West Virginia commit admitted this year is the most that she’s ever put into training. She swims every single day and does additional practice on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and lifts three to four times a week.

“It’s a lot of training, but it’s worth it in the end,” Bair said.

In 2022, Bair became the first Central Mountain swimmer to ever win a district championship and ended up qualifying for states. Bair was a two-event district qualifier last year, which also was a first for the swim program.

“Camryn puts in a ton of time. She’s got some high goals for herself. She works year round, right now she’s putting in about 10,000 yards a day. … She puts in a lot of yardage,” coach Bair said. “She has earned everything that she’s achieved. … I’m super proud of her accomplishments in the pool.”

When swimmers get into the starting blocks to compete in diving and get ready, they know they have to swim their best race to have a chance at beating Bair regardless of what event she’s swimming in. That’s a testament to her swimming abilities and pure talent she possesses.

“They’ve got a really good swimmer with Cam and pretty much anything she’s in she’s going to win,” Williamsport coach Brett Johnson said. “So you have to go around there and try to pick what she’s going to do and put people around her.”

Bair is glad to be continuing her swimming journey at Division I West Virginia University. She’s one of the few area swimmers to compete at the Division I level and she was drawn to the Mountaineers.

“I’m super excited. I think our group is really, really good and it’s going to help the program get so much better,” Bair said. “I love the coaches, the area, the school is awesome. That’s what made me choose it and I’m super excited with what’s to come.”

Bair sees herself as somewhat of a role model to the younger swimmers on the team. And she’s always the first to give her teammates advice or tips no matter who asks her. Not only is she glad others look up to her, she also wants to see her own records get broken someday by other Central Mountain swimmers in the future.

“I hope so, I hope they look up to me. I try to help them as much as I can and give tips, I hope those records go down and people beat them,” Bair said. “Records are meant to be broken.”
