North Potomac, MD: July 21, 2018 The meet announcer at the Westleigh Pool and Tennis Club did his best WWF  “Let’s get ready to rumble” imitations calling G Division swimmers up to blocks on an overcast and rainy MCSL Saturday morning.  “A” team swimmers for Westleigh, Manchester Farm, Forrest Knoll, Rock Creek, Old Farm and […]

Montgomery County Swim League (MCSL) celebrated it’s 60th anniversary of holding summer swimming events for the youth of the county.  I am sure that there were parents and possibly grandparents at Sunday’s All Stars meets who grew up with memories of swimming competitively in those 60 years against neighborhood clubs.  So it was delightful to […]

I stopped by North Creek pool in Montgomery Village on Saturday to catch a glimpse of […]
