A Brief History
of the YMCA Bluefish In 1972 a young man named Dan Horton had a vision – gather
a bunch of kids together and started a swim team. It was a great opportunity
to develop their coordination and strength, teach self-discipline, and
let the kids enjoy the water. With all of this in mind, the Bay Area Swim
Club (BASC) came into being. With a parent-run board of directors, it
became tremendously successful. As this swim team grew, the Waldo County
community began to see the need for other team sports and a governing
body to house them under. In 1986, the Waldo County YMCA asked the BASC
to come under its wing. Putting the two organizations together would create
a greater growth opportunity for everyone involved, and in 1998 the BASC
chose to join the YMCA. The Bluefish is a competitive swim team for boys
and girls ages 6 – 16. This is not a “learn to swim”
program. All children participating must be able to swim the length of
the pool unassisted. Be sure to stay up to date with the Bluefish
by Checking out our Team Calendar (linked blow) and keeping an eye on
the Bluefish Team Bulletin Board located upstairs in the Spectator Area
of the YMCA.
