Port Washington/Roslyn girls swim team wins Nassau County title

Sometimes, a coach can feel a championship coming, not just a few weeks in advance, but a few years. When longtime Port Washington girls swimming head coach Joe Lennon looked at his newly configured combined team of Roslyn and Port Washington three years ago, he saw lots of potential. Young swimmers on the rise in Port, along with some very talented kids in Roslyn, gave him hope. Two years ago, the squad won the conference title. Last year they were division champs. This year, the goal was county title for sure. “Sometimes the pieces all come together at the same time, and that’s what happened,” Lennon said. “From Day 1 this year, the girls felt dialed in and ready for this moment.” That moment happened on Nov. 7 at the Nassau Aquatic Center in East Meadow. Led by senior Carina Dai’s three first-place finishes and strong performances from a host of talented sophomores, Port Washington/Roslyn captured the team county title.
