Flashback Friday - The Start of the Lock Haven University Swim Team

Several years of blogging have occurred at the Jersey Shore Swim blog with over 1000 stories and articles posted.  With that in mind, the Jersey Shore Swim blog will occasionally pull out an occasional favorite or interesting item from the archives to share with readers (plus some interesting old stuff never posted) in a series called Flashback Friday.

Below is a newspaper clipping from  Lock Haven's December 19, 1947 The Express, where they talk about all the sports offerings at Lock Haven University (then called the State Teachers College at Lock Haven).  Buried in the article is the mention of the college's new swim team.  Note -this was the men's team (which is no longer in existence) with the thought of a women's team years down the road.
