Blue Water & Warm Temps -- the Perfect Antidote for Missing Summer!


Every year, or so it seems, in mid-to-late January, Bob heads for Mexico -- this time with a new underwater camera! When you can get your subjects to pose, just for a shot at a soggy cracker, you can get some interesting photos. See Below:


The beach looks great too!

Goodbye Tim. We'll Miss You!


We're sorry to see Tim leave for his new 15 lane pool in NJ but he will have to leave West Neck Beach behind! Along with a lot of good memories and a whole bunch of friends. And a lot of those "old" friends showed up at Meehan's on Tuesday, November 24, 2015 to hoist a pint or two in Tim's honor.

But, don't be surprised if Tim finds his way back for a swim or two. He and Leslie are just moving to New Jersey -- that's on the other side of the Hudson, not the other side of the Mississippi!

Swim Party Get-Together at Finley's: April 15, 2015


Wednesday night in Huntington found a few (Pod Size Group) of area swimmers and triathletes at Finley's on Greene Street to celebrate Tax Day. No, NO! It wasn't a tax day party, it was to say "Congratulations". "Best Wishes" etc to Katy, sandwiched between Margot and Erin. Katy will be getting married next month!

To get Katy to Finley's, unaware, she was told it was for my birthday which is also just around the corner. BTW, thanks for the "Happy Birthday" song.  Sad to say, it was easy to tell we were out with swimmers and not professional singers! Though I'm pretty sure Katy enjoyed her song, "Here Comes the Bride" even if NOBODY knew what came after "all dressed in white".






Below: Somebody's gotta make the bar run to pick up a few last drinks. Though, I am happy to report that at least half of us made it to the pool for the 5:30 to 7:00AM swim workout!
