Sirena Rowe (born 28 February 1998) is a Colombian swimmer.

Swimming career

Club

Rowe began swimming competitively for NOMAD of the North Carolina LSC located in Mecklenburg County in the greater Charlotte area. She finished her club years as a North Carolina Swimming champion in the 50 free both short-course-yards[1] and long-course-meters[2] in 2016.

Collegiate

Rowe enrolled for the 2016-2017 season at Marshall University and made an immediate impact. Rowe was twice named Conference USA Swimmer of the Week: on 24 January 2017[3] and 31 January 2017,[4] and at the end of the 2017 season was named Conference USA Freshman Swimmer of the Year.[5] Rowe finished her freshman campaign with school records in the 50 Freestyle, 100 Freestyle, and 100 Backstroke as well as shared records in the 200 Freestyle Relay, 200 Medley Relay and 400 Freestyle Relay.[6] As a member of the Thundering Herd, Rowe qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 50 yard freestyle.[7] where she finished 35th. Additionally, Rowe placed 51st in the 100 Backstroke and 52nd in the 100 Freestyle.[8]

After the 2017 season, Rowe transferred to North Carolina State University[9] and sat out a year due to student-athlete transfer rules.

At the 2019 ACC Championships, Rowe placed seventh in the 50 freestyle (22.29) and 21st in both the 100 freestyle (49.69) and the 100 butterfly (54.21). Additionally, Rowe was on the 200 Medley Relay and 200 Freestyle Relay for the Wolfpack that set the program, ACC and meet records in those events.[10]

At the 2020 ACC Championships, Rowe competed in the 200 Medley Relay (2nd - 22.64[fly], 1:34.38), 50 Freestyle (15th - 22.66), 200 Free Relay (22.09/1:27.50), 100 Butterfly (28th - 54.98), and the 100 Freestyle (33rd - 50.43). The relay times posted would qualify with (A) standards for the NCAA Championships.[11] The COVID-19 pandemic prevented the NCAA championships from being contested. Rowe was named to the All-America team for her efforts in achieving the A cuts for the 200 Medley and 200 Free Relays.

In her final collegiate season, Rowe again earned two All-America honors for the 200 Free Relay (3rd place at NCAA) and the 200 Medley Relay swimming the butterfly leg in an effort that would win the NCAA title in the event. At the ACC Championship, Rowe swam the 200 Free Relay and 400 Free Relay which each placed 2nd.
