January 17, 2025: Our Swim Team hosted another swim meet at McHugh Natatorium on the Clemson University campus January 17th-19th. They brought 150 swimmers from 5 different teams together to compete in a two and a half day USA Swimming competition. Jay Owens broke the team record in the 15-18 boys 200y breaststroke, they had six swimmers qualify for the SC Swimming state meet in an additional 10 races, and overall our swimmers went 63% lifetime times. Our athletes got loud at the end of every session cheering on our relays to victory in some very exciting races. What a phenomenal showing for the 38 athletes representing the Foothills Area YMCA.
FAY has two more regular season meets coming up and then they enter our Championship season which is a gauntlet of five meets over eight weeks. First up are the SC Swimming Senior and Age Group Championship meets where they have 16 athletes qualified to swim with the best that SC Swimming has to offer. More updates on those meets are coming up next month!
