LSAC Championship Swim Meet Results: A Bold Display of Dominance and Determination Over the past two weeks, LSAC athletes plunged headfirst into self-confrontation, never looking back. They gathered speed, raced to the wall, and refused to accept limitations. Each race was a testament to their mental fortitude, pushing boundaries while avoiding the comfort of easy actions. At the Championship meets, each athlete courageously pushed beyond their perceived limits, revealing their true character. Once they tasted domination, it consumed them. Small sparks turned into roaring flames as they rejected self-imposed limitations...

Dear Team Families and Supporters, Our pool may not be the coziest, but it's the best place for us to thrive. We’re fortunate to run our own closed meets throughout the year at a low cost, and families can come to the YMCA where there’s something for everyone. With our patio and deck, we can conduct advanced dryland exercises to ensure our athletes are in peak condition and ready for competition. Most importantly, we have something many programs don’t: good air quality. Thanks to the new fans (special thanks to...

Last night the Boston Celtics won the NBA Championships against the Dallas Mavericks led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. The Celetics were stacked with not just great talent, but outstanding leaders and TEAM PLAYERS like Derrick White.

It's not merely about the hours logged in the pool; it's about maximizing every ounce of athleticism. As swimmers ascend to higher echelons of skill, traditional methods alone won't suffice. Enter plyometrics: the secret weapon in unleashing untapped potential. Imagine the raw force of a swimmer's dive off the blocks, propelled by the energy of lightning-fast muscle contractions. That's the essence of plyometrics at work. Those jump boxes at the pool aren't just...

So, thank you parents for always being there, driving your athletes to practice, welcoming them with a dry towel, and reminding after a big loving hug and warm dinner that...
