Here's your local guide to lakes, streams and rivers of recreation in and around Bergen County.
I grew up without a swimming pool. I remember long, hot drives in an overcrowded station wagon down winding backroads to the Darlington Swim Club. Once I was older, my friends and I would race up Route 17 to hike up to "Unemployment Rock" in Mahwah. After climbing to the top lake, we felt we earned the right to take a dip even if the signs made it clear that swimming is forbidden. Though many lakes in Bergen County are either members only or "not for swimming," you can find fun aqua-activities nearby, if you navigate the waters correctly. Some public lakes allow fishing while others, like the Celery Farm in Allendale, just make for a great walk. If kayaking, canoeing and boating are more your style, read on. Here's a breakdown of some of …

Teen swim team finishes 14th at University of Maryland tournament
The Wyckoff YMCA Sharks swam above much of the competition at a national tournament in Maryland last month. At the end of July, 32 teens from North Jersey who swim for the Wyckoff Family YMCA's competitive team traveled to the University of Maryland to compete at the 2010 National YMCA Long Course Swimming Championship. Coach Kathy Kallman said the kids took 14th place in an event with nearly 150 other YMCA teams from all over the country. "They stepped up to the challenge, and I am very proud of them," Kallman said. She added that the more the members of the Shark team attend these competitions, "the more confidence they get, and they are less and less intimidated by the other teams." The Sharks have come a long way in a short time …
