phoenixville masters swim meet news post

This past weekend, our Phoenixville YMCA hosted the annual Bill Heebner Winter Freeze Masters Swim Meet!

Did you know you can be a competitive swimmer throughout your entire life? It is not a sport you have to "graduate" from at any point! We had swimmers in their 20's through their 80's at our pool this past weekend to compete in the meet. One of our 60-year-old swimmers was hoping to reach a World Record, too!

It has been a long standing tradition that our PAY teenage swimmers volunteer their time to help run this meet. A swim meet requires a village of volunteers, and this is a way for our PAY teen swimmers give back to the sport. They volunteered as timers, lap counters, event announcers, results posters, and other helpful positions.

Being a meter pool (as opposed to a yards pool) makes our Bill Heebner meet an event that swimmers travel across many states to attend. It is a highly sought after meet every year! 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another memorable year at the Bill Heebner Winter Freeze Masters Swim Meet!
