The fall edition of the "Just Do It" semi annual
adult swim meet was held on Sunday, October 19th at the Sussex County
YMCA in Hardyston. Seventy seven swimmers entered the meet, up from
the sixty swimmers in the inaugural meet on May 3rd. Great support
from Rebecca Carlson, the Y's Aquatic Director, Debbie and George
Soutter, Jill Christen and the Y's age group swim team parents
organization made the meet a hit with the swimmers. Some of the
features that the swimmers liked were the goody bags received at sign
in (thanks to California Beach Hut for donating "goodies"), the new
swimmer orientation class before the meet (thanks to Ed Tsuzuki for
thinking of it and conducting it), the short duration of the meet
(about 2 hours) and the event selection (50's and 100's of each event,
200 IM) and the concluding fun mixed 200 free relay. Swimmers should
mark their calendar for the next "Just Do It" meet on Saturday
afternoon, April 4, 2009.
