Bruce Crock and Lenny DeMuro, two names that are linked with Mount Desert Island swimming, were inducted into Maine’s Swimming Hall of Fame recently.

Longtime MDI YMCA Sharks coach DeMuro and former MDI High School and Princeton University standout Crock were recognized at a Maine Swimming Inc. awards dinner at the Augusta Civic Center.

DeMuro’s 25 years of coaching the Y team included more than 10 years coaching Crock, who was the YMCA national champion in the 100-yard breaststroke in 1992 and went to the U.S. Olympic trials for the 100-meter breaststroke in 1996.

While competing for MDI High School, Crock held four Maine high school state records and was defeated just once in four years. As a YMCA swimmer at the 1992 nationals he won the 50-meter breaststroke and was third in the 100-meter breaststroke.

Crock was a four-time Maine high school Swimmer of the Year before going to Princeton, where he was an All-American in four events in 1995.

Crock graduated from Princeton in 1995 with a degree in civil engineering and architecture. That year he competed in the Olympic Trials, missing out in the 100-meter breaststroke but posting the fastest 50-meter split time.

Crock is married with two children and lives in Fairfax, Calif.

Demuro was the two-time state swimming coach of the year and served as the Maine zone coach for a total of 13 years. He was the state coach of the year in 1996. Sharks swimmers won four New England divisional team titles and more than 30 New England individual championships while 25 swimmers qualified for YMCA nationals under DeMuro’s tutelage.

He also coached the MDI High School boys and girls from 1981-86 and 1996-98. The MDI girls won Class B state titles in 1982 and 1987, and DeMuro served as an assistant coach to his son, Tony DeMuro, who led the MDI boys to a Class B state crown in 2004. Lenny DeMuro was named Coach of the Year in 1982 and 1984.
