Jose Sotillo, the former Aquatic Director at Suburban Swim Center in Newtown Square was charged with embezzling 112K. Suburban is where Brendan Hansen swam during his high school years. In addition, it is home to Legendary Grace Cornelius. Of course, I, a USMS National Champion, is a full fledged product of this organization. Unfortunately, the facility on Gradyville Road will have to be sold. This is so sad because it just seems like every 10 to 12 years, something is wrong with this club. In 1995-1996, the old facility had to be shut down because the roof was going to cave.

In the late 50's, early 60's that place was considered the mecca of Middle Atlantic Swimming. We always looked forward to swimming there.
Not really sure what team is the mecca of Middle Atlantic swimming today. There are several pretty stacked teams in the area. West Shore Y had a guy who just missed Worlds. York Y just built a new facility and had Middle Altantic Champs there this year. I can't believe that they closed down the Lancaster Aquatic Club outdoor pool. Every summer, we would go there for Junior Olympics until Franklin and Marshall pool and the pool in Sewell, NJ, Bucknell became the "it" pools in the area.
