Jersey Shore YMCA Swimmers Celebrate Successful Season

Swimmers and parents got together this past Saturday night to celebrate a successful swimming season.  The festivities started on a down note though as Andy Kitchen, president of the Parents Swimming Advisory Board, stated the Jersey Shore School District's position on the high school swimming pool.   Once again, it appears that the school board is looking at closing the pool.

Andy quickly changed the somber mood as he presented a  volunteer award to the group awarded by the Jersey Shore YMCA.    He also acknowledged the presence of Laura McMahon, Branch Executive Director of the Jersey Shore YMCA.  Both Andy and assistant swim coach Patty Kennelley stated that it was the first time since they have been involved in swimming that a YMCA representative attended the swim team banquet.

He also presented gifts to the two coaches, Dave Keegan and Patty Kennelley.  He then turned over the rest of the evening to head coach Dave Keegan and his assistant Patty Kennelley.
