On Wednesday, June 23, the Lake Forest Swim Team kicked off the start of the 2012 NJRLL season with a 233-122 win over friendly rival Lake Shawnee. Adding to the excitement of opening day, Mayor Russ Felter was on hand to cut the red ribbon and present Lake Shawnee’s newly revamped swim lanes. As two seasons of dam issues and low water levels prevented use of their beach, Lake Shawnee representatives graciously thanked their Lake Forest neighbors for sharing their facility.

Head coach Eddie Zappile and assistant coaches Chris Zappile and Lou Pessolano had team members brave still chilly waters during daily practices in an effort to prepare for the start of the season. The hard work and dedication paid off, as is evident by the impressive win. Congratulations to the Lake Forest Swimmers who placed in their events.
