The YMCA’s Peterson Aquatics Center in Sturgeon Bay, hosted a standout performance at the recent “Fast and Furious” swim meet on Saturday, described by competitive swim director Mike McHugh as “the best meet of the season so far.” Across all ages and genders, YMCA swimmers set more than 90 personal best times and produced over 15 new State qualifiers.
“Special recognition goes to the Boys 200 Medley relay team—Xander, Thomas, Jack, and Max—for earning a National cut, along with Daylia and Jack for achieving National cuts in the 200 Breaststroke,” McHugh said. “Even two of our newer dolphin swimmers reached their first-time State cuts. They should be proud and amazed at the level of the program.”
McHugh emphasized the program’s philosophy: “This is why our expectations are high, because with supreme effort and focus, we can achieve them. Every swimmer has the opportunity to reach these ultimate goals. Not everyone will, but setting great goals is essential for personal growth. This is what we teach and coach every day.”
Beyond competitive swimming, the YMCA offers aquatics programs for all ages and skill levels. From beginner lessons for toddlers to lap swimming, water fitness, and advanced competitive training, the Door County YMCA encourages the community to develop confidence, skill, and enjoyment in the water.
More results and program information are available on the Door County YMCA’s website.
