Strong undertow in Longport today. Was out just past the breakers with my wife and kids(15&21). Had a string of big waves come in and then suddenly I feel us all starting to getting pulled out deeper. I told everyone to head for shallower water. I grabbed by wife and son(15) and got them in far enough and then realized my daughter was still about 10-15 ft further out and headed deeper, she kept her wits about her and swam diagonally back towards the beach vs directly against the current. At this point the lifeguard whistles were going off, but I was able to meet my daughter halfway(where I could get my feet under me cause I'm almost a foot taller than her) and pull her the rest of the way. We decided we had enough of the water for a while at that point and headed up to our chairs. Lifeguards gave us a thumbs-up on the way past the stand.
With all of that, we only saw one rescue all day. Weren't that many people in the water though.

Very popular spot. I've only been once or twice but have friends who love the place.
4 foot deep above ground pool ? I think NOT.
It's a 4 foot WIDE splash pool.
I can remember being taught by Dad in the Vanderbilt indoor pool how to swim. When he punched out the Head Coach at Vandy, that turned out to be a career changing event and we moved back to NJ.
Then walking from the South end snack bar in Spring Lake up to the South Pavilion for my swim lessons. Walking carefully to reduce the splinters you would get from the old wood boardwalk. Getting there as the pool was filled with that COLD ocean sea water.
Anybody here use Silton Swim School in Wall for their swim school ? All 3 of our Sons went there, but they were not happy with how cold the water was for the early lessons.
Never sent the kids to Silton. My daughter was never interested in camps. My son did camp at the Atlantic Club including 3 years at the Bobby Hurley Basketball camp.
I remember one year a number of RU players were counselors. Really funny to see Herve walking by with kids who didn't come up to his waist surrounding him.
The last year my son attended (8th? grade) he was picked to play in a game against a group of kids who played for St Anthony's. Lost something like 50-6. He was all excited that he had 2 of the points.

Did it for both boys. Worked out well and gave my wife and I great piece of mind on vacations with a pool.
And when they were old enough jr guards in Spring Lake every Summer until 9th grade.
The complaint I heard about the basketball camp was the dad showed up the first day and never again.

Couldn't say about the dad. Bobby and Danny were there IIRC. The counselors were mainly college guys who were playing in the JSBL. I remember one counselor he had was Carlos Cuerto who was a PG for Richmond.
The year Herve was there was prior to his Frosh year at RU. He played on a team in the JSBL that included Sherrod along with Barrett, Toney-El, and Griffin from SHU.
Original member of Atlantic Club, Mary Anne was on their tennis team for many years.
Back in the day a few games of racquette ball and some beers upstairs.
Or some beers by the outdoor pool.
By the time we moved to Florida my monthly bill there was larger than my home mortgage.
Some beers seem to be in my memory bank from my 'workouts' there.

Sand storm on Sunday afternoon and now a big storm to wash out Tuesday and Wednesday. Not a great week for the shore.
Whatever you do, research bade limits and see if you can buy badges online in advance.
I love L
I love LBI and especially Beach Haven. Less crowded, less day-trippers, and more family oriented. Check on badges, though, as mentioned above.

Yeah it looked really foggy looking toward AP. It was sunny with a nice breeze here earlier. Storms have moved in now.
I don't think you can go wrong anywhere on LBI. The outskirts of beach haven in either direction would be great for a younger family.
Plenty of solutions to the beach badge issue if your rental doesn't offer them (they should). You could buy weekly badges, you could tell them you left them home and someone went to get them or you can dig in a beach bag for a few minutes and shake any bag, envelope or container at them and they'll walk away. All tried and true methods. Good luck.
Sea breeze- head to the beach.
Land breeze- mini golf, pool, pretty much anything else on earth that doesn't involve the beach.
Damn, this sucks. @e5fdny , @knightfan7

Thanks Phil Murphy
Love the quote by the Clancy owner Kelly in that story: "We have enough work to go around"... which I took to mean his first thought was finding work for his workers.. back at Kellys. Good man.. good Irishman.. good family.Damn, this sucks. @e5fdny , @knightfan7

Went a few times. It’s Kelly’s in a strip mall.
Everyone always seemed happy there, staff and customers.
Not sure.
It’s right across from the main entrance to Ocean Grove if anyone needed a landmark.
I don't wan to offend the Irish here, and this may be hard to believe, but never been to Kelly's. Been to Clancy's many times.
Kelly’s is a classic. The junior sized Reuben sandwich was always my fave. Enough for two people.
They had the same thing at Clancy's. Menus were similar. Clancy's seemed less crowded and more family friendly.
I go to Kelly's because it about half way between here and where my son lives so we meet for dinner once in a while. Of course not lately.
Been there a few times when doing jobs in Ocean Grove, Kelly's East we called it. Bradley Beach jobs we stop at Darcy's, Belmar/Wall-Boathouse, Sea Girt/Spring Lake- Harrigan's, Farmingdale area-Mulligan's. Manasquan- well we pack a lunch. 🤪

I don't drink but my guys like to have a beer with lunch so I oblige their request. Me I like to sample some of the finer cuisine at some of our local watering holes. So while they're getting burgers, I'll have the filet mignon steak please.
