Nicely done, gentlemen.
​
At the NCAA Division ll meet BBD alum, Megan Clifford, finished seventh in the women’s 200 butterfly! She continues to shine.
​
At the “Day-After Meet” our parents led by head official Bill Clifford once again showed true BBD spirit when they not only ran a great meet but had to completely set up the Seaholm pool moving starting blocks, the bulkhead and the lane markers. Thanks to our parents and swimmers who got the pool ready.

The Eight and Unders State Champs enjoyed an open swim and an ice cream social. Thank you, Coach Jeannie, for the paper-plate awards. Thank you to the Iaccos and the Bassetts for chairing the event.

There are so many moving parts during the championship season! We are looking forward to Zones, MAGS and our National Team is ready to rock!
