Join us tomorrow night for our annual Superhero & Angie Strong Night! Come dressed as your favorite superhero as we honor one of our own superheroes, Angie Beran.

In March 2019, Angie was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer. After an 18-month battle, the cancer became metastatic. Throughout her journey, Angie was determined to live life to the fullest and make as many memories as possible with her husband, Matt, and their three children, all Bucs swimmers. In July 2021, we said goodbye to Angie, but her strength, courage, and love for her family continue to inspire our community. This annual event is one small way we help ensure her beautiful legacy lives on.

Angie Strong swim caps ($10) and bracelets ($5) will be available for purchase at the meet. Cash, check, Zelle, and Venmo will be accepted.

Net proceeds will benefit the Matt & Angie Beran Community Trust, whose mission is to support children who have lost a parent, helping them continue participating in sports, activities, and other meaningful opportunities.

We'll also have the Billy Bricks Pizza Truck in the Brookdale parking lot serving delicious thin-crust, Neapolitan-style pizza.

We hope you'll join us for a special evening of community, remembrance and supporting a great cause!

Let’s be real, the kids wouldn’t be reporting to the bullpen or their lanes in time if it wasn’t for moms! 💕 Happy Mother’s Day, Bucs moms! Thank you for all you do!

Happy Mother's Day to the NSC community. 💙

To the moms who set their alarms before the sun comes up so their swimmer makes it to practice on time. The ones who pack the bag, find the goggles, apply the sunscreen, and somehow still have a snack ready when the meet is over.

To the moms cheering from the pool deck with everything they have — learning heat sheets, memorizing lane numbers, and knowing exactly which splash belongs to their kid.

To the moms who sit in the quiet car on the way home after a tough meet and find exactly the right thing to say. And the ones who cry happy tears when their swimmer drops time — even just a tenth of a second — because they know what it took to get there.

To the moms who volunteer at the crack of dawn, run the concession stand, organize the pasta parties, decorate the cars, and make every team tradition possible behind the scenes.

To the moms cheering for every kid in the water — not just their own.

And to the moms who somehow make all of this look easy — we see you. Every early morning, every long meet day, every load of chlorine-soaked laundry. Every single bit of it.

The NSC doesn't run without you. And neither does summer. 🌊💙

Happy Mother's Day from all of us at the Naperville Swim Conference. We are so grateful for every one of you.

We’re incredibly honored to be featured by Naperville Swim Conference!

Bucs have always been about more than swimming. We’re about community, friendships, traditions, and summers our families never forget.

We’re so proud of our Bucs swimmers, coaches, volunteers and families for making this team such a special place year after year.

Thank you, NSC, for the kind words and for all you do to make summer swim so meaningful for so many families.

TEAM SPOTLIGHT: Brookdale Bucs Swim Team ⚓

Some teams are built around a pool. The Brookdale Buccaneers are built around people. And since 1979, that's made all the difference.

🏆 A 2025 TO REMEMBER
The Bucs' girls finished first in points at the 2025 NSC City Championship Meet, and the team broke 10 team records in a single season. That's not a fluke — that's a program firing on all cylinders.

⚓ BIG BUC / LITTLE BUC
Older swimmers are paired with younger ones each season to build friendship and team spirit through posters, good luck cards, and favorite snack treats. The bonds formed through Big Buc/Little Buc last well into adulthood. That kind of culture can't be manufactured. It's earned, one summer at a time.

🦸 SUPER HERO & ANGIE STRONG NIGHT
Every summer, the Bucs honor Angie Beran — a beloved community member lost to breast cancer in July 2021. Families dress as superheroes, pink "Angie Strong" caps are sold, and proceeds support the Matt & Angie Beran Community Trust, helping families who have lost a parent stay on their educational and athletic paths. A special thank you to the Huntington Barracudas, who stand alongside them every year. 💙

🌊 MUSTANG MAYHEM — JUNE 13TH!
The Bucs are hosting the 2nd Annual Mustang Mayhem Invitational on June 13th at 8:30am! Open to all NSC and Trident swimmers who feed into Metea Valley High School. Visit their website for details.

Open to all — no neighborhood residency required. Once a Buc, always a Buc. ⚓💙
