 Patriots Friecracker meet entries are now closed Sachem Holtsville Invite entries posted May-8 - Entries close Jun-1 Summer Fun Invite final entries posted May-17 Summer Classic Invite final entries re-posted May-17 While there are more then 70 25 yard indoor competition pools and more than 80 clubs in the Metropolitan area, there are only five indoor long course (50 meter) competition pools in Metro for the long course season. (1) Eisenhower Park, (2) Lehman College, (3) Hofstra, (4) Felix Festa MS, and (5) Asphalt Green. This means that long course meets in Metro (and everywhere else in the North-East) fill up very fast. LIAC runs the long course meets at the Eisenhower pool. As the Spring-Kickoff meet was already closed, LIAC did not accept Coach Paul's entry changes, where he tried to have the younger swimmers only compete in one of the two morning sessions. So, this was the reason for chaotic Saturday morning session at the Spring Kick-off. However, our 108 swimmers were undeterred and swam very well. 95% best times and combined time improvement was 2,699 seconds or almost 45 minutes! Such a high percentage of best times is quite normal for Novice, Junior and new Senior swimmers, as they competed in their last long course meet 9 to 10 months ago. Note that Coach Paul entered most swimmers with converted short-course times, not with actual long course times from previous long-course season. If you swam faster than your converted short-course times, you did really well! Most "veteran" swimmers will be 1 or 2 seconds per 100 slower than their converted SC time at this time of the LC season. Your goal should be to be faster than the converted SC times by the end of the LC season. Be aware that Coach Paul already submitted the entries of the two June meets at Eisenhower and the July Patriots meet at Lehman college. So, the entry times for these meets are not updated with times you swam at Spring Kick-off. This is where computers and the Internet come in handy. After each meet log-into your "My Deck Pass" on the USA-Swimming web site, print out your best long course times and take with you to the next meet. Remember, you can qualify for the TYR Cup Holiday Classic in December with long course times, so, don't wait until October or November. The TYR Cup closed last year by end of October, so swimmers who qualified later, could not go.

430 Party Goers Had a Blast at the Annual TVSC Dinner Dance Dinner Dance pics Pics by Victoria's dad (pw tvsc) With first year Head Coach Paul Furbeck at the helm, TVSC athletes did well this past short course season, and this was celebrated last night at the annual TVSC Dinner Dance. Even before eight, we already had 100 kids dancing -- and who says swimmers are "klutzy" on land? This party is still the hot ticket in town: 430 party goers: swimmers, their families, TVSC coaching staff and their guests. Many TVSC swimmers just stay with this year-round tough sport of competitive swimming all these years for the Dinner Dance alone . . . . Our club's yearly Dinner Dance surely beats the end-of-the-season < fill-in your youth sport > pizza party at the local pizza parlor and it surely beats the school dance in the smelly school gym. The party had it all: cocktail hour and a four-course meal for for grown-ups, buffet and ice-cream bar for kids, dancing, awards, year-books, DJ, graduating senior recognition, dancing, graduating senior video, party favors, dancing and more dancing. One of the fun parts of the Dinner Dance is guessing who the kids are when they don't wear bathing caps and are all dressed up. For several of the younger swimmers, the ones who come to practice with their caps already on, it was the first time we saw their hair color. TVSC Board, thank-you for organizing another great party and TVSC swim families, thank-you for the coaches' gifts.

The team of Kevin, Nik, Dylan, and Jason won the 200 Medley Relay in 2:05, a 3 second drop from Dec-2011, and just off the Metro record.
