2025 JONES BEACH SWIM PROGRAM:  The Jones Beach Swim Program is 50 years old.  We would like to thank all the instructors, over the past 50 years, for their hard work and also thank the participants from our community for their continued support.  The first session of classes started July 7th-18th & the second session will start July 21st-August 1st.  Our Lions Paul, Dale, Keith and Lydia attended the Jones Beach Swim Program celebration on July 18th and barbequed hot dogs for the participants and their families as well as the instructors and volunteers.  There were games for all the kids and everyone had a wonderful time.  There was also a sandcastle building challenge for the older boys and girls - both groups put a lot of thought, creativity and effort into their sandcastle making-the girls displayed the remains of the City of Atlantis and the boys discovered zombie remains while looking for treasure - And, as judges, our Lions had a difficult task choosing the winner but the Zombie won.  Our Lions received many thanks, not only from the children participating in the program but from their parents and the instructors.  The participants of the Swim Program presented our Lions crew with a handmade Thank you card.
