The Boothbay Region YMCA coaches and swimmers had a blast at the 2019 Y States March 1-3 at the University of Maine. We were very proud of the swimmers and appreciate the commitment from the swimmers and parents to see their hard work pay off.  Y States is a fun meet and it is always good to see swimmers’ improvement in the pool as well as teammates cheering each other on.  

Congrats to the 33 swimmers who competed at Y States. BBYD earned 25 trophies for top 8 finishes, 15 heat winner ribbons, eight relays swum, earned 30 9-16th place ribbons, improved by 201.61 seconds, 46 best times, and scored 536 points. Out of 67 individual swims, there were no disqualifications, which is quite the achievement. The boys placed 14th and the girls 15th place. The 8 and under boys placed second out of 16 teams.

Three Dolphin swimmers earned cut times and will be competing at New England YMCA Championship held at MIT March 23-24.
