Lots of Fast (and Inspiring) Swims at the Jason Nessel Memorial LCM Meet!

Rahway River Park Pool was the site of New Jersey's Jason Nessel Memorial LCM meet on July 26, 2008. In addition to swimming some fast times and enjoying a beautiful summer morning with their fellow Masters swimmers , some members of the NJ LMSC were pleasantly surprised and honored to receive their Continuous Membership Recognition Program Awards. We congratulate each one of you on your commitment and support of USMS through your continuous membership with the NJ LMSC and we encourage the remaining award recipients to contact either Chris McGiffin (CMcGIFF@aol.com) or Susan Kirk (sqkirk@comcast.net) to arrange to pick up your well deserved awards. We hope to hear from you soon!
