Matt Freund had an impressive showing at USA Swimming’s Futures Championships in Geneva, Ohio. The meet took place at the famous SPIRE Institute from 7/27-7/30. Impressive enough just to qualify for this meet, Matt went all-in earning impressive finishes and some Presonal Bests along the way. He started off the meet with the grueling 200 Fly. Making it back to finals, he fought his way to a 12th Place finish (from being seeded 21st) and a drop of -1.41 seconds! He also had great swims in his 100 Free (-0.14),...

With the LC championship season in full swing, a few of our swimmers took to the pool at Rutgers University at this season’s NJ Swimming Silver/Bronze Championships. Our 5 attending swimmers hit the water 17 times to earn 14 Personal Bests, six Top-6 finishes, a few JO cuts, and more. Congrats to our First Place earners Rylee Bambara (200 IM) and Ty Hollar (100 Free)! Well done ‘Cudas!

As our swimmers begin to settle into our long course competitions, its great to see their confidence rise as their times drop. These past weekend’s Summer Champs at Berkeley Aquatics saw just that. Teams from across NJ, NY, and CT were in attendance and made for some fast swimming, challenging our swimmers to call upon their training to yield success. At the end of the 5-day competition, almost half of the 60 splashes were Personal Best Times, another 12 were first-ever LC swims, and an incredible 49 were top-8 finishes!...

Summer Sizzle In what has become the premier prelims/finals meet of long course season, Eastern Express’s Jeffery S Mace Summer Sizzle XXX last weekend didn’t disappoint. Hundreds of the top swimmers from NJ, NY, CT, New England, DE, and PA descended upon Rutgers for three days of fast swimming. With only six qualifying swimmers in attendance, we placed 17th out of the 36 teams in attendance. The fact that it was such a big regional stage only makes our First Places that more impressive. Congrats to Nathaniel Kern (100 Fly,...

Congratulations to our First Place earners Jonathan Kern (100 Back, 50 Back, 50 Fly, 50 Free) and Hannah Wilson (50 Free)! Great job, everyone!
