Bedford Swimmers Take Second at Northern Westchester Swim Conference

This story was written by Caroline Curvan.

The Northern Westchester Swim Conference Division III Championships took place at the Torview Swim Club in Ossining on Saturday, August 3, 2013.  The competing teams were Bedford Village, Lakeside, North Castle and Torview.

Despite a downpour that drenched everyone as they arrived at Torview, the rain let up just as the Girls’ 8 and under medley relay opened the meet.

All four teams were extremely competitive throughout, with many close finishes.   By the end, many of the parents and coaches were hoarse from cheering their swimmers on.  

At the mid-point, the standings were Torview 63, North Castle/Bedford Village tied at 76 and Lakeside on top with 79.  But the home team rallied, and Torview dominated the freestyle relays winning the 8 and under Boys and Girls, the 10 and under Girls, and the 12 and under Girls and Boys events.

As the final scores were being tallied, a question was raised about the official’s handling of a false start in the Boys 10 and under freestyle.  The event in question was re-swum, but the results didn’t change the final standings, which were:

North Castle 141

Lakeside 156

Bedford Village 167

Torview 173

 The winners went on to compete in the 2013 All-Star Swim Meet for the Northern Westchester Swim Conference that took place on Sunday, 8/4 at the Briarcliff Manor Pool.
