In between sessions on day one, a coach from another team approached one of our parents wearing an NJB shirt. “Wow, your team is doing great!” he said… The 13&Overs really showed up to swim at the 2018 NJ Swimming Silver Bronze Championships at Berkeley Aquatic Center in New Providence over the weekend. Our 21 athletes joined swimmers from 18 other teams and amassed Career Best Times, Top Places, Gold and Silver Times, and a few Team Records putting an exclamation point on an already successful season.

I know there are lots of meets this weekend but at this time of year it became impossible to find a date that didn't have a meet. So if any of your swimmers are available, please let them...

The new year started off strong with 103...
