In a tradition dating back decades, members of the Northport Yacht Club swim team traveled to Centerport Yacht Club to face off against their 'cross harbor' rivals.

The 58 timed events that tested swimmers’ mettle included the backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, butterfly, the individual medley (four laps in each of the aforementioned strokes) and freestyle relay races.  CYC proved victorious over Northport, 270 to 200. 

Four pool records were set by CYC. Nina Lesser set a record in freestyle in the  girls 14 and under category as did Nicolette Gibbons in the girls 17 and under category. Sierra Weiner set records in girls’ 17 and under back and breaststroke categories.

The Tri-Club Champ meet, which  pits the best swimmers from NYC, CYC and the Huntington Bay Club against each other, is scheduled for Saturday, July 23 at  9 am at the Centerport Yacht Club.

Look for Northport Patch there.
