UMLY's Senior swimmers and coaches did an amazing job at the YMCA's Great Halloween Festival, which was an event for the local community. Not only did they cover both sessions of this event, but they also helped to set up and clean up. To call this event a success would be an understatement! Also, special thanks to parents Meg Sargent and Katie Galef for help with the swimmers' makeup.
