I come here to swim on the Dynamo swim team and I feel that the Y has created a close knit family  for us. I’ve known everyone on the team for eight or nine years so we get along really well. I think it’s a positive atmosphere to be in. I swim two hours  day, so about 12-14 hours a week.

I think our Head Coach Brad Smith does a really good job, I love Brad. Everyone on the team connects with him well because we’re kind of close in age. He really knows his stuff and he’s helped me a lot. In general, all of the staff here is really friendly, I like coming in and talking to them before and after I swim.
