A local swim team with years of local and national success will begin its preparation for another winning campaign later this fall.  The Door County YMCA Swim Team will begin practicing next week and Director of Competitive Swimming Mike McHugh says over 140 swimmers will be training two days a week at the two aquatic centers in Fish Creek and Sturgeon Bay. He shares how the DCY Team has been able to be so successful over the years in the pool and have the strongest youth program in the state.

The Door County YMCA Swim Team won four individual state championships, a 200 Free Relay, and a 200 Medley Relay last spring in Brown Deer.  The 2023-24 competitive swimming season will begin in November.  McHugh notes that the relatively new Dolphin Club program has become a perfect stepping stone for kids in swimming lessons to advance to the swim team.  You can listen to the entire conversation with Mike McHugh on the Y Wednesday podcast here.
