Local YMCA Swimmers making a splash at the national level

 The YMCA of Youngstown’s swim team has big goals to qualify multiple swimmers for the 2022 National Championships coming up in March, which seems like a real possibility for the squad.

The team is made up of 130 swimmers ranging from 5 years old to 18 years old. They practice 6 days a week in the pool for about 2 hours and 3 days a week out of the pool.

“This hard work and dedication with a desire to succeed here everyday” says Coach Terry might just be the recipe for this team.

They already have 7 swimmers on the team that are ranked in the top 16 in the country, but their sights are set on qualifying for the Championships in North Carolina.

Our whole Y family is behind them routing them on, good luck swimmers.
