Fair Haven's Connor Jaeger is headed to the Olympics but got his start in the pool at Surfrider Beach Club.

Everyone knows that Fair Havenite Connor Jaeger is in training for the 2012 Olympics.

But, what many may not realize is that the first venue in which the hometown Olympian hero swam, besides lessons, was the Surfrider Beach Club in Sea Bright.

His parents, Eric and Bernadette, and fellow swimmer and big sis Dana told Patch all about it this week.
