Flashback Friday - Jersey Shore YMCA and Lock Haven Go Way Back

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.

The Jersey Shore's 2015-2016 YMCA winter swim season kicks off with a match-up against local rival, Lock Haven, on December 5.  In fact, the two teams will meet several other times this season; tri-meets with Ridgway in January and East Lycoming in February and CENKEY championships.  

Their annual rivalry goes way back.  Below is a Lock Haven Express clipping from the 1984-85 YMCA swim meet season.  The 84-85 team was the first year of the Jersey Shore YMCA winter swim team.
