This past June both Giovine’s were also finalist at the International Age Group Invitational held at the Hall of Fame Swimming Pool in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
The SeaDragon Swimming Club comprised of swimmers throughout the area has been developed out of Centenary College in Hackettstown, where a combination of technique, up-to-date training methods and enjoyment are combined to bring out the talents in every swimmer.
"The success of our program is attributed to the dedication of our coaching staff and the strong community commitment of Centenary College." stated Bill Giovine head swim coach. The SeaDragons begin their 5th season this September.
