TVSC Class of 2013 Graduating Seniors at the Dinner Dance
Colleen, Phoebe, Marielle, Chase, Matt, Charles, Sara, Kelsey and Christina

475 Party Goers Had a Blast at the
Annual TVSC Dinner Dance


A new venue -- Villa Lombardi's -- and an even bigger party to celebrate the accomplishments of TVSC athletes this past short course season.

This party is still the hot ticket in town: 475 party goers: swimmers, their families, TVSC coaching staff and their guests and all dressed up. Many TVSC swimmers just stay with this year-round tough sport of competitive swimming all these years for the Dinner Dance alone . . . .

Our club's yearly Dinner Dance surely beats the end-of-the-season < fill-in your youth sport > pizza party at the local pizza parlor and it surely beats the school dance in the smelly school gym.

The party had it all: great food and ice-cream bar for desert, dancing (and who says swimmers are "klutzy" on land?), awards, year-books, DJ, graduating senior recognition, dancing, graduating senior video, party favors, dancing and more dancing.

One of the fun parts of the Dinner Dance is guessing who the kids are when they don't wear bathing caps and are all dressed up. For several of the younger swimmers, the ones who come to practice with their caps already on, it was the first time we saw their hair color.

TVSC Board, thank-you for organizing another great party and TVSC swim families, thank-you for the coaches' gifts.

2013 Metro Junior Olympics (JOs)
11-12s Break Six TVSC Team Records - one JO Champ
Meet results     Individual results     Results by events     Results with splits

49 Athletes competed at the 3-day 2013 short course Junior Olympics at the Nassau Aquatic Center. It was a timed finals meet for 10 & Unders and 15-18 year old swimmers. For 11-14 year old swimmers it was a prelims / finals meet, more tiresome for athletes swimming at finals than the TYR Cup due to the extra 1 1/2 to 2 hours of travel time before and after the meet. Still, they did well and even on Sunday night, after racing 10 or more times there were more best times!

Alec Huner, in his last meet in 11-12 age group - he turned 13 on last day of JOs, won the 200 breast 11-12 boys by 4 seconds over runner up, Jason Louser, and broke his own team record from January by an amazing 8.5 seconds(!!!) - 2:23.90. Jason also swam under Alec's earlier record.

Emily Bardak broke Kate Stansbury's 4 year old 200 fly record twice, once in prelims and once in finals: 2:19.94 (-4 sec). Emily was also 4th in high point for 11-12 girls.

In her last race of the meet Sidney Judson broke the 7 year old 11-12 girls 200 back record of Alyssa Brennan: 2:15.53 (-0.5 sec).

Alec Huner, Jason Louser, Kevin Xu and Luka Zuric broke three 14 and 15-year old 11-12 boys relay records by Shaun Armstrong & Co and they missed the 200 free relay record by 2 second. 400 free relay: Jason, Kevin, Alec, and Luka 3:46.34 vs. 3:49.57 (-3.21 sec). 200 medley relay: Kevin, Alec, Jason, and Luka 1:56.04 vs. 1:56.24 (-0.20 sec). 400 medley relay: Kevin, Alec, Jason, and Luka 4:15.46 vs. 4:19.32 (-3.86 sec).
