10 Year Vision Becomes Reality

There was always idle talk about placing a record board in the Jersey Shore High School pool to replace the small one near the swimming pool entrance. About 10 years ago, several parents decided to make the dream become reality. An effort led by Sue Thompson and Sharon Koch led the swim team booster club into numerous fundraising efforts to accumulate funds for the project.

On November 1, 2010, swim team parents Sue Thompson and Danette McPherson, along with Jersey Shore Athletic Director Bill Mincer, placed the names, dates, and times onto the new board. The ultimate vision was to also have a pool record board, but because of costs, the group concentrated on just the high school records. That part of pool records will need to be taken up by another group of parents.

Records are meant to be broken! Good luck to the 2010-2011 high school team in chasing those times!
