Below is an article from the Lock Haven Express detailing a swim meet between the Lock Haven YMCA and Williamsport thirty years ago (from the 1981-1982 winter swim team season). Now, competition with Williamsport Y is a distant memory. Why? Are there no pools in Williamsport? Are there no kids interested in swimming in the largest city in central Pennsylvania? Is the Williamsport Y not interested in offering this activity to the locals? Did the swimming parents run the program into the ground? Could no coaches be found?
It is a shame that the Williamsport community could not pull together and provide the youth of their community the opportunity to swim competitively.
