"Our younger swimmers are beginning to show dramatic improvement," said Bevery Tillman, president of the Bluefins. "We are so proud of them." "The Bluefins offer a strong environment for improvement as the older swimmers not only help the younger swimmers but they cheer for them too," added Debbie Longarini, Bluefins vice president. "Having a positive, fun environment has led to approximately 95 percent of our swimmers returning year after year." "We have fun" said Trinity Gerome, who improved her 50 Free mark by nearly a full second. Newark's Bluefins will look to have more fun in two weeks at its next duel meet, Saturday, July 10, against the Glenmoor Stingrays.
