What an incredible showing by our NJB swimmers this past weekend at the Jeffrey S Mace Memorial Summer Sizzle XXXII at Rutgers University. None of our attending 4 swimmers are new to success, but they really knocked it out of the park in this very competitive meet that brought together some of the best swimmers from our LSC, and beyond- the 36 attending teams were from NJ, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Despite only having 4 swimmers in attendance, they certainly made their presence known. Their collective 35...

Our swimmers have been putting in the work the last few weeks, which means racing tired. But that didn't stop them from having great races, getting best times, and having fun at this past weekend’s Bring the Heat meet at Rutgers. Our kids joined their peers from 12 other teams for a day of long and fast racing! Many of our swimmers swam events out of their comfort zone, a third of them to be exact, while another third were Personal Bests! There were many big drops, including Jonathan Kern’s...
